I decided to follow the \"guidelines\" and went wandering without a map.  I WALK not run down a gentle slope - boom!  Dead from fall damage.

Fine, maybe it was steaper than I thought.   I go to the end of the world!  I climb a nice gentle slope to get a good view.  I walk back the way I came and BOOM!  I fell down and died.  Losing over 50hp from sliding (not even falling this time) down a hill that was shorter than my character??

I wish for less fall damage!  How about 10hp for every 2 game meters(or 6ft) or something similar?

The post about the character wipe clearly states that \"all points, trias, and items will be gone and reset to the starting position \", while preserving guild information...

This means that all characters will return to a \"newly created\" state.  This is clearly NOT saying that characters will be deleted.

So how come people wanting to delete characters are being told to wait for the wipe?  
Is the post wrong, or is the advice wrong?

If the junk characters we don\'t want will still be there, we will be sad.

My comment on role playing is this:

Create a character you would like to be, and then BE that character.  
Playing games is about distracting yourself from real-world obligations and enjoying yourself.  Role-playing is about picking up imaginary world obligations to enjoy yourself.

Planeshift lets you create a character that spent their  youth as a circus freak, joined a street gang, and then worked under horrible conditions in a crystal mine.  

How would this person act and feel once finally past all of this?  Some would be bitter and mean, others would be optimistic and cheered to have a new future.  

It is you-the-player\'s obligation to take your interpretation of this digital individual\'s life and add it to the virtual world.

thanks, didn\'t see the \"old bug\" using search.  guess i gotta go find a glyph seller!
