Does the server operate on a player vault whereby the player creates a character and that character is permanent untill a DM or senior member of staff deems it unrequired? (at which point it is made unactive or is deleted). I also havnt seen how the death system or anything works yet as im still downloading via Worldgate atm, if anyone could shed some light before I get started on thinking up a character concept it would be much appreiciated!!  On a side note the downloading is extremely swift compared to other PWs, is it because you have a fast download server or is it the new Worldgate version. It normally takes hours, not minutes to download that much content!  |

The characters are server vault, so unless an admin deletes that character, itll stay there.
As for the worldgate, *shrugs* I dont know I have always seen it that fast for downloading mass amounts of files.
Have fun!

For what I noticed, Worldgate uses FTP or HTTP for serving files. I guess HTTP protocol is a bit faster for smaller files than FTP - both should be about same when downloading big files. Unless there is heavy traffic or server is otherwise slow (i.e. disk I/O is bottlenecking) files are served at maximum speed.
I am certain that BG Worldgate _will_ be slow when its user base grows.
In that case, it would be propably wise to move these files served through Worldgate to dedicated server.

Can you request a deletion? I have at least two char that i wont ever use.... It would be better to delete them or just leave them there? -Raffael |

I know from playing Moonlight & Shadows that some servers dont delete characters because it messes with the quest database or some such.
Others like The Known Lands which I have played on prefer to make PCs you no longer use inactive.
I guess Ill just to think carefully about which one or two characters I want to play in the longterm ^^,

yeah for the time being dont worry about deleting characters, just leave them there. HOWEVER if it does become an issue, you can ask JLF or Etched in Blood to erase your character.
