Waste of resources and pointless I would rather they fix important things. If you want to delete your character more than once then more fool you. I left game for a year and a half took game off computer never touched it.

If you actually cared about the cost of it why would you delete it? Also you keep comparing to 11 which is silly, FFXI only allowed it once the player-base dropped as they probably had more room to back up. Also I can say for a fact it wasn't 3-4 years in, as a friend tried to come back two years after wow came out in 2004 and they couldn't restore their character.

* We cannot guarantee that the character you would like to reactivate can be restored.
* In the case that restorable character data does not exist, it will not be possible to reactive the character.
* Even if you are eligible for this service, there may be rare cases in which character reactivation is not possible.
