    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.

    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.


    Cheers

    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

    but not everyone has an alt. one of the joys of here instead of being on WoW where I had like 22 alts for different classes or situations, here, you can be everything on one. I can see people still being in the habit of that, buuut, there is not the same need to do so

    It wouldn't help at all.

    I know it's evened out more somewhat in recent times, in terms of created characters (not played, created) Balmung actually had the lowest population of all NA servers, yet it was always locked away because players who had Balmung character actually logged into them.

    So deleting unused characters would do nothing, at all, in this scenario. At best nothing would happen, and at worse it would only help by people quitting because Square is deleting characters for people and that's a very slippery slope to do, since that'll give people the fear of "They'll just delete my main eventually if it suits them better." Then they won't even play at all.
