Removing unaccessed lvl1 characters

[Charlayy]

And I'm referring to lvl1 characters that only made it as far as the opening cutscene only to NEVER log in again. I'm finding this more common on alts, as opposed to people who've played on trial (I'd assume playing on trial will get you well beyond level 1.) and subbed as a result; that's how I ended up playing XIV.

I'm aware character removal in general is a touchy subject, probably having been implemented in other MMOs, but the way I see it, it's a level one character, fresh to the game, that say, hasn't been accessed in months to a year, maybe even more. Why bother? It can free up potential names and space (although I can't say how much space a character with no sufficient levels even takes up.)

What do you guys think?

No. So just cause you were to slow to take the name now it's time to casual cry to SE to remove those characters so you can steal the name? More self entitlement at its finest.

you know you can just edit your post right? That bypasses the character limit too. Also, isn't it more entitled to say that you can steal a name with a lv1 alt and then never play it? As Lokier has said, this is nothing new, and will eventually be implemented regardless of whether or not people complain. Though it's not like they would delete the character, it would just have to be renamed after it was flagged for being inactive for too long (I mean we're talking a year here). Hell, if it was an original name then you really shouldn't have a problem with it since no one would think to take it.
