should SE delete characters that were never used

[WinterLuna]

I have a level 1 character with a name that I am holding.

There are legitimate reasons someone will have a name on a low level character and have not logged in with that character.

Then simply log in with it. It's not hard if you really want the name. Also, it's kind of hypocritical to be against deleting characters for names for the very reason that you're holding a name..

I had the same character name for a long time but had to change it when I moved servers. The name is taken by a level 14 archer (I just checked again right now, the character hasn't budged levels in around 7 months).

I think it would be completely fair that SE delete characters under a certain level or playtime if they haven't logged in for a year. The chance of them returning is low and even if they did, I doubt they're going to miss a level 14 character with barely any gear. It would also help clear out some of the over populated servers.
