Problem with Death Angel

[Sohjin]

I'll try and recount all the events leading up to the current state of play and hopefully someone can advise what to do.

I created a new character and for various reasons had to Death Angel it. I remade it after the reset and this time forgot to select the sub-race (I know). So I went to see the friendly Death Angel once more. After another reset I logged in intending to finally make the character correctly, but the second version was still in my list when I logged in. However the server allowed me to remake the character correctly and play the final version.

So far so good. Now when I logged on the next day the second version (not sub-raced) was in the list, so I logged in with that one and went to see the Death Angel again figuring this would wipe them all and I would have to remake again. What has happened is that the final version is now back in my list and I can't log it in. I don't want to make another copy over the top if it is going to continue the problem. Could one of our friendly DMs have a look for me and get the character sorted out or properly wiped?

I know I could make it with a different name, but we are going for a themed party.

Login is: Andy 1978
Character is: Zulkir Evokus {GODS}

there was a warning posted about the delete function and naming chars the same thing.

There have been known problems with deleting a toon with the Death Angel, and then making another toon with the same exact name. It seems you had decent luck doing this with the 2nd build, but bad luck with the 3rd.

Is this 3rd try already high level, or are you willing to make a 4th?

If so, I would advise changing the name by just one character. You can add a period or something, anywhere in the name, and the server will see your name as a different name alltogether. Thereby eliminating problems associated with same name/deleted toons.

For example : (original name) Zulkir Evokus {GODS} (adjusted name) Zulkir Evokus.{GODS}

Okay remade him again with the slight tweak to name as suggested and that seems to have worked. Thanks for the help.

The post Tep was referring to stated that:

When you delete a PC and you want to make a new one with the exact same name you must wait until the server has had a full reset or there will be a ton of problems in your character vault.

I used to just play it safe, and wait until the following day

hmm. ghostly, i didn't think halflings (or halfling gods) generally exercised that much strategy or foresight. this is enlightening. taking the safe route? waiting? not very good rp i'm afraid.

lol, it had nothing to do with a halfling playing it safe. Back when I 1st started playing there weren't any death angels

[DM_Kim]

LOL, That's when we had to bow, beg and plead with Master Zing to do the deleting for us. After he did that we would get a PM back saying..

"Wait until after the server resets before making a new one with the same name."

There's a way to fix that. Remind me to do so...
