Will deleting old, unused characters help free up server space?

[Katsushiro]

If so, I'm definitely going to do it. I'd just rather not delete them if it actually wouldn't help at all..

Only ask because I understand Legacy players get more characters to create, so by that logic I imagine that "number of characters created" is a factor for server congestion.

But I'm not a tech wizard. lol Anyone know?

I don't think deleting unused character will make a login q go away. The Q only represents how many people are logging in at any given time. I don't think deleting a alt will do anything to help free space. The servers are capped just need to add more and I believe they are working on that. With a shortage of semi conductors etc there is only one thing that will help. People need to get vacinated and back to work.

I don't know how much this helps answer my question, but I agree people need to get vaccinated. XD

You said the servers are capped, but what caps a server? Logins, characters created, or both?

The issue is actively logged on. Just having a character is a server space issue that is stored in a different place. Nice idea though.

The server get capped by the amount of playing players.
If there is a quene larger then the server capacity then the server are full and you can not create new characters.

The total amount of created and inactive characters doesn't effect that.

Awesome! That is exactly the answer I was looking for, thank you.

They aren't much, but I did spend time on my alts, guess I'll leave those be. Thanks for your help!

Ah, I was really hoping I could do something to help the space issue. Since I'm a free company leader, being "actively engaged" just means being there for your members sometimes, so was looking for a more direct way than just limiting play time. lol

As a player you only guess whether deleting a character will free up server space or not. In normal case the effect should not be noticable. But every time i read what technical difficulties they have when they try to add/change trivial things then everything could happen.

Yeah, I hear that.

Kind of figured if everyone subscribed deleted one unused alt, it could help, it certainly couldn't hurt right? But I can't seem to confirm whether or not it would help anything so. XD
