i need to remove some of my characters because the only way for me to get into a game is by starting a new one and now im outtaroom...does anyone no how to or when there gonna fix that bug?

You would have to apply to a GM to have your character removed, and it\'s only currently done rarely (if at all) from what I understand.
Unfortunately, I\'m afraid, unless you have compelling arguments, you may be out of luck. But take heart, from what I hear, due to early-in bugs, at some point, the database will be wiped, and you can start again. So all is not lost!
I concur, sometimes it\'s irritating to only have four chars available, but I believe this was done in order to prevent ueber characters from trying to have multiple chars, each of which is optimized for a specific purpose. It also reduces database and server load, as each of the characters is loaded (temporarily) on login. My advice? next time, don\'t create characters you don\'t intend to use, or ask around to see what characters would fit with what you want.
Though a guest account would be nice, that brings up its own caveats. (mostly anonymous profanity and spamming)
Edit And out of curiousity, what do you mean \'the only way into the game\'? Are some of your characters stuck in walls, etc? if so , use /spawn to free them. If it\'s a question of not *wanting* to play the characters, or being banned, then I have far less sympathy. But I doubt that\'s the case, all in all.

Read more abouts GMs here (http://www.planeshift.it/guide/glossary.html#id2628359)
And the team could make an delete character button or something but its only the tech demo... Just wait :)
-
They may at some point in the future have characters start with some inventory, at which point it becomes easy to abuse the system if there\'s a delete character button. I.e. create a character, drop everything somewhere, and then delete it, run with another character, pick it up, create a new char, etc.
It\'s a good idea, but opens its own can of worms. Might want to do this at some point, but keep track of the total number of characters created/removed. At say... ten, I\'d raise a red flag.
-
GMs cannot delete characters. So don\'t even ask them.

I think that what Habitat is trying to say is that the \"log in\" button doesn\'t work! If you imidiatly press the \"create new character button\" then you can create a new character and play the game but theres only room for four and i dont like starting all over again! grrrrrrrrr. *breaths in deaply* please fix this bug. there is also another forum on this bug if you wish to fin out more.
