Is there any way to create new characters without actually doing it...?

[Alhanelem]

It isn't a matter of making it when ARR comes out... I want to make my character now... since any progress I do on my current character won't change it won't really matter if I delete it now and create a character... Although I say this I probably won't just delete my character just for the sake of creating new character designs to import... I guess I'll just wait till the ARR bench mark...

There is going to be a character creator. Also the first phases of the beta your imported data will not be avialable, so create away!

You're not making it very clear what exactly you want though. Are you not intending to play your original character? Are you just wanting to play a new one during the beta (in which case, you will be so I"m not sure what you're talking about?)? Or something else? I don't know. All I can tell you is you don't have to use your current data in the beta if you don't want to (though progress in the final phase will carry over to release, so you'll want to use your "real" character then)

Edit: Oh, do you mean in the current version of the game before it shuts down in 2 days?

In this case, yes, the only way would be for you to delete your character in-game and make a new one. I'm not sure why you'd want to bother with this though, because there will be more character creation options in 2.0, so you'd be missing out on potential customizations.
