If people want to delete their characters they should be able to. *shrug*

I made my thoughts clear somewhere. Does anyone else want to express an opinion in a post?

I don't understand the complaint with the nerd rage lag. I mean, when I want to delete, I am angry. Then I wait and I think, well shit, maybe I will keep going. Or, I delete. But if you really want to delete, log our and do it later. Is it really that hard?

Fyi - This isn't an attacking question, it's merely a question. Why is this such an issue for some people?

My personal MO is I have one solid character for about a year. And then I have like a 3-6 month gap where I can roll up some solid rebound-trash-nerd-rage characters. And there really is very little more satisfying in life than nerd raging a classic trash character to purge the system in preparation for the next 500 hour, 1 year effort.

And there is no substitute for the immediate nerd rage in the following situations:
- I was just 2k xp away from my next rank and mobdeathed back to 20k
- I just spent 4 hours soloing Xanthak and got pk'ed by pip
- I just got pk'ed by beia and/or bladefurry

To start on topic. Not letting me delete right when something really stupid or bad happens has saved many characters that I really didn't want to lose, but I would have if I was able to "nerd rage" delete. Off Topic, Ergo..you're not supposed to know who Beia or Bladefurry are playing!!!

lol. When people have the same habits and behaviors across every character some things stand out like a sore thumb.

I'm not speaking for the Imm staff here - just my opinion - but I like Ergo's idea of having the choice to toggle nerdrageability on/off upon character creation. Some people like it, some people don't, let's please everyone.

not being able to nerd rage makes me mad but people constantly ask imms for undeletes

I don't know why we don't just have a strict no-undelete policy but I don't make the rules
