Well, I'm in a newly formed pvp guild named We Need Fame [sOz], and not many days ago when doing HA with my guildies I deleted my second most developed PvE character (a monk) by mistake, with a voltaic spear r13 dyed black in it x/.
On the next day, my guild leader got a draconic aegis and a pyroclastic axe on the zaishen chest.
On the day after that, my cousin (who's officer of the guild) got another draconic aegis in the zaishen chest also.
And on the day after that one, some chinese, who was quiting the game, gave another of my guildies a panda -.-.

And what did I get? Deleted my second most developed and most expensive character with a voltaic in it xS.

I don't get how people "accidentally" delete characters, you HAVE to type their full name in, in order to delete them. Unless you're so dense that you don't realize you're typing in the wrong name....

Never said it wasn't my fault, I was frustrated at myself for doing it.

That's because you never done it, stuff happens, no need to flame.

The posts following the OP are just as bitchy and pointless as the first post. If you guys don't have anything nice/constructive to say, don't say anything at all.

As for the OP, sucks. Can't say I've deleted the wrong character before, but I also don't get good drops XD. The good news is that q13 volt spears don't cost much .

Lies, you must be completely retarded to delete your char twice, even once is proof of utter stupidity... You need to press delete, and after that, type your name in order to delete it, you dont do that "by mistake".

I'm not flaming, I'm trying to understand... I've accidentally moved a black bandana onto a char I was going to delete because it's freaking invisible and I thought it was an empty storage space, but aside from that, I don't see how you can make that big of a mistake.


EDIT : NOW I'm flaming. OMGEE GUISE I CAN'T TELL THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MY SECOND FAVORITE CHARACTER AND SOME RANDOM PVP CHARACTER. GIVE ME STUFFS.

How could you type in your char name by accident, not knowing that it's your PvE char ?

Not being completely obvious helps. You actually have to type out your chars name then hit delete... Can you honestly not remember what char you're not suppose to delete?

Where in my post does it say that I deleted my character twice? -.-

My intention on making this thread wasn't to get any atention or a new voltaic, was just to create a discussion about stupid things that anyone else has ever done in guild wars like selling high-end weapons to merchants or deleting characters by mistake, that's what forums are for, discussing, but seems like nowadays all forums are flame fests, people simply just can't be mature and act nice to each other.

Now I remenber why I never posted on forums, this was my first and last thread on this forum.

Thanks and bye.

Hmm, misread "second most" for second- " most developped"... anyhow, even once is stupid... Type ur entire name, for gods sake...

I have 913k on my storage right now (don't have 1000k because I wasted some money on my zaishen rank 1), I could easily buy another voltaic so no, I'm not looking for anyone's charity, but you're free to think what you want.

He never said the char names, but if he did what I do and have an account that all char start with the same 5 characters with slight variations on the rest as well as have similar looking chars easy enough to do. I frequently load the wrong char because I don't look at which one is selected (though tbh, I've never deleted any)...

My monk was named Preto Do Cross and almost every of my pvp characters have Preto in it's name, maybe it was that and the fact that I was almost falling asleep on my keyboard (had just returned home from a whole week of local party at an island next to where I live).

I have deleted a character and forgot that he still had some stuff on him (i.e. fully runed armor, some mats, and a zodiac axe.) Can't say that he was deleted on "accident" though, that's tough.

worst I've ever done is deleted a character and forgotten to clean out what the heroes had before I deleted it, lost a few items but really not a big deal.

Same, now I check every character before deleting. I also check and double-check when I delete that I've got the right character.

Personally I feel sorry for the OP, all he was trying to do was stike up conversation and a bunch of people start screaming 'beggar' at him.

What you're talking about isn't luck though.

Luck would be if all the guildies went out together to Z chest, all got draconics and celestial compasses and transmogs....and you got nothing but firewater. That would be crappy luck from hell (and it's happened to ppl here lol)

What happened to you was a mistake pure and simple. There's a stupidest thing I've ever done thread floating here somewhere this would be homelike in.

We've all done the epic dumb maneuver before..sucks but I bet you won't do that again. As my mom would've said, "THAT'LL learn you!"

Truth to that. My guildie gets Celestial bows and Amethyst shields, and what to i get? WTS Creme Brulee

on the topic, i forgot to take a Necrid Horseman mini pet off a PvP char marked for deletion, So now i have a big sign on my cork board: !DON'T DELETE PvP CHAR, HE HAS RIN RELICS!

Well said. My thoughts exactly. I honestly have no idea how you could have done that, but in answer to your question no I've never had that kind of luck. Lousy drops and minis but that's it. Never deleted a character by mistake.

Yeah.

Anywho, I haven't deleted a character by mistake, but I regretted deleting certain characters after I've done it. :-/

As for luck, I do get poor luck sometimes, especially at chests. My teammates get something good, retain their lockpicks, and I end up with a Grape with a broken lockpick.

Except for this evening: My guildie was mentioning something about tomes, and she opened the chest. She got a grape. It was my turn to use the chest, and not only did I retain my lockpick, but I also got me an Elite Assassin Tome. I just had to crack up laughing at that.

It can happen if you are in hurry and having mind elsewhere (As in, thinking about reason why you are deleting character and thinking about creating new one already - It can happen when you are remaking survivors or when rerolling pvp char. Especially if you are self-trained to type your character name in empty box without thinking twice because of faction donations.)

hah. I've delted chars without taking items off first
But I don't get how u can accidentally delete him
Especially if it was one of ur most worked on chars
And all my characters have similar names so that can't b y it happened
Well. Srry for ur loss
But pay attention maybe?
