Deleting characters is a complex thing to implement if you think about it. This isn\'t as bad for regular players as it is with guild leaders (what would happen to the guild then? Randomly pick a new leader? disband it?) or alliance leaders.
Nothing that can\'t be solved, but at the moment implementing character deletion is not an issue (or if it is, noone told me

).
You can always go and sign up a new account with a different email address though if you are \"out of character slots\". Also, there will be a wipe of the database once the major bugs and problems are fixed.
