(*RANT*) There should be a way to delete unwanted characters

Recommended Posts

So my story is i couldn't recover my password (Microsoft ruined my email) for my old account, and the support thread was quickly closed before i could even have the opportunity to provide information that could be useful for verifying that i am the owner of my old account.

 

So i start a character and create an appearance that i think will look good. Upon getting in game i find out i made a mistake. I tried to go for all black clothing but the shoes were baige in game (AGH). However i can't delete my character or change my appearance without paying an absurd price for a minor micro transaction that definitely cannot be blamed on a lack of bandwidth to charge so high. I'm the kind of person who would gladly 'donate' 50 for this game to support the developers and no longer have micro-transactions of any kind. So nobody can say i'm a cheapskate. But because such an option isn't available, i don't want to give anything over for a micro-transaction that is just a one-time appearance change (A-B-S-U-R-D imo). If pokemmo is going to sell stuff like that, why charge $5 and make it only one use, why not... unlimited uses... and work across all characters? *GASP how could such an insulting suggestion be made!?*

 

I love PokeMMO, and i appreciate the developers that have put so much effort in this, but an absurdity is an absurdity. It actually deters people like me who would normally provide a $50+ donation from not donating anything at all.

 

EDIT:

 

Some things are understandable to charge multiple times: like changes that enhance the odds of catching shinies or items, or other beneficial game mechanics in favor of the player. But cosmetically speaking, what the hell?

You can make unlimited accounts with a single email id, make more mistakes etc. IGN would be the issue here though

Speaking of that, that brings into question of why they charge an arm and a leg just to add a new character slot to a single account.

They don't? You can have 3 characters on one account, and you can make as many accounts as you like

Its true you can make as many accounts as you like, but to add a fourth character slot on a single account cost 1000 reward points which is $10 USD

Now that's something new and pointless. Never heard of it before

Why? Just make a new account, you can use the same email. That sounds pointless

No my concern isn't about character limits. It's pointless in and of itself that there isn't an option to delete characters. And you know it can get annoying keeping track of multiple accounts. I prefer to handle fewer accounts.

I'm pretty sure there is no option to buy a fourth character. That would be pointless as we allow unlimited accounts.

Unfortunately, characters are not deletable for the moment, and we do understand your concerns.

And does it really matter what your character looks like? Just use it...

Aesthetics matter to a lot of people. besides i used a character name that i like and i want to recycle it on a new character.

Sorry, maybe i was mistaken and saw something incorrectly which induced dejavu of remembering when i bought a guildwars 1 slot for $10.

 

Thanks for addressing this concern Perreh. Glad you guys have it on your mind to try to fix this

Why do you even need so many characters? I've had the same one since 2012, and another one I used ages ago for TMs when you couldn't buy them 

Hannah, i've already told you, my issue Is not character limits. i don't like having to repeat myself.

Then why are you worried about keeping track of multiple accounts? You only need more accounts for more characters

Maybe you're thinking of an extra 'PC Slot' which can be purchased.

That has to be it then. then my point about pointless purchases is actually correct.

Nope, PC Expansion gives you extra slots to store pokemons on your PC, this only affects one character and it has nothing to do with the number of characters an account can have. 

This just gives your character's PC extra slots for storage.

*DOH* Thought PC stood for Player-Character. But it stands for the in-game Computer. sorry a bit rusty

That's a common mistake. :>

 

Also, this is a fair point as to why we don't have character deletion available.

Hypothetically speaking- imagine if character deletion was a thing. The threads then would go like-  i "accidentally" deleted my 3 year old account, HALP PL0X.

If there is anything else I can help you with or if you still have questions regarding this topic please feel free to drop me a PM and I'll get back to you ASAP!
