Okay... you need to do something about this

When I deleted my kittening PvP character… I lost an arcane converter, 50 some arcane crystals, and a whole godkitten set of masquerade gear. You need to either make armors and salvage items across characters… or at least warn us about this before we delete our godkitten character. I know it is a fault of mine for not thinking… but you could still help people like me out, ya know?

I really don’t know what we can do, aside from the warning we already give, and (I believe) requiring that you input the character name a second time as confirmation that “Yes, I really want to do this.”

I’m pondering the next step: “Are you really really sure? Please signify by [insert some action here.” At some point, after giving warning and making it clear what is involved in the deletion of a character, we need to allow that process to happen. Putting too many hurdles to accomplishing a desired function can make the process irritating and non-user-friendly, after all.

I do want to say that I am sorry that you deleted in error and lost items.

I think we’ve discussed this and the majority seem to agree that the system works just fine, it’s just that each player needs to move with care in the deletion process.

Closing thread.
