I have come to the realization that I have characters on too many servers. I try to log in with each character at least once each week, but even so, there are some that I never actually PLAY. I have therefore decided that I need to delete some of them. It is simply getting to be too much to keep up with maintenance on their homes etc.
This is not an easy decision as my characters are like children to me... however, after going over my characters, I have determined that the ones on certain servers would be easier to delete than others... specifically (in order of likelyhood of deletion):
- Corbantis: These are 2 of my Mon Calimaris. I never really play them. The player city where they live has degenerated into an outpost. I have not seen anyone online that belongs to the guild in so long that I'm sure that it is defunct as well.
- Tempest: These are a Zabrak and a Rodian. Again, I never really play them. They have homes in a player city on Dantooine, but don't really know anyone there (I just asked to be allowed to live there as I like the name of the town). I made characters on this server because one of my RL friends told me that he has characters on that server for when Eclipse (my main server) is down. However, I have never seen him online playing his characters there.
- Lowca: These are my only other Mon Calimari and Zabrak characters. While I almost never play them, I am fonder of them than any of the other characters on my list of possibles to delete. My MID on this server is the only one of my characters to have gotten a badge for participating in a live event and my Mon Calimari here is one of only 2 of my characters that has master musician. They do not belong to a guild nor do they live in a player city, though a player city did once exist where they have their homes (and I have a cantina that I have decorated beatifully there).
Of my other characters:
- Bria: Cantina Crawls... 'nuff said... definite keeper.
- Eclipse: My Main (where my RL friends play)... definite keeper.
- Intrepid: My characters here belong to a thriving player city (one of a pair of sister cities) and an active guild. They also have plenty of credits for maintenance on their homes.
- Scylla: My second highest character is here. This is also my only Imperial character (my characters on Eclipse are Rebels... all others are Neutral).
I am pretty sure that I will delete the characters on Corbantis, less sure of the ones on Tempest & Lowca. However, each of the characters has things that I hate to see go to waste. Houses, harvestors, factories, pets, droids, crafting stations, furniture, vehicles, resources (mostly grinding quality, but even so), etc and some credits. I would like to give the stuff that any character that I delete has to deserving players (speciffically to fellow IDs and/or ATK Entertainers).
If you are interested in any of the stuff I have on Corbantis, let me know. I will decide about the others on Tempest & Lowca later.

It's always sad to delete characters 
.
But I understand what you mean about not playing them and I know what it's like to be stretched across many servers.
I'm on Tempest, and I would certainly love if it you kept your characters and I then got to meet you
. If you decide to go though, I can assure you I'd make respectful use of your previous belongings.

Sorry to hear that your Corbantis characters are the first to go
If you would like to, Elwyn and I would be willing to distribute your possessions among deserving new entertainers and ID's we know. Of course I haven't asked him yet,LOL, but I'm sure he'd feel the same way. Just send Imaji or Elwyn emails in game and we can arrange to meet if you want to make us trustees.

I have already started the process of consolidating my stuff on Corbantis so as to make it easier to distribute. I pulled up all my harvestors and have transferred Sepia's house to Omma. I plan to sell as much of the junk stuff on the bazaar as I can so as to have more credits to offer to ATK Entertainers. I expect this to take a bit of time as I have lots of stuff on vendors.

I hear ya... It's hard keeping up. I didn't even play on as many servers as you & I couldn't do it. I tried in the beginning... I remade my twins to play on Ahazi when all my friends from another game created chars there by mistake. Not only did I make exact copies of my twins, but I was able to get the exact same houses for them in the exact same waterfront locations in Theed.
Between the 2 servers I probably mastered around 29 professions (half of which were redos just to get the freaking badges). Plus I made those chars on TC & on 6 more regular servers just to reserve their names in case I ever decided to play there. Didn't do much with them, but they came in handy last Christmas with all the free holos & the cross server trading that happened afterwards...
Now my Radiant chars call the Theed Cantina home because their houses have already gone poof... And, even though the 7 houses I have on Ahazi now are all paid up for more than a year, they are never used anymore. My 3 housewaterfront estatein Theedis cluttered with all kinds of stuff, & the 4 house mountain compound next to the Emperors Retreatis completely empty &probably collecting cobwebs.
Between the 2 servers I'm probably sitting on 20 - 30 mill, & on Ahazi I basically have 4 glowey chars that have had a villige invite for several months now... & what did I do after they all got their invite? I put it all aside to start all over from scratch again on TestCenter... Except now I decided to max out all the available character slots for my accounts & created 15 chars total that I am now trying to level in this ghost town that is TC... I must be insane... shoot me now...
Sorry, I'm rambling... but I found your post amusing... & I've been going a little stir-crazy mastering Dancer/Musician for the 9th or tenth time now... on a server where themain source of BF is the two other alts I have that go out to sample radioactive... which is taking a really really long time by the way... kinda like this post...
Anyway... If you happen to be in the Theed Cantina on TC & see this wierd Wookiee named Toppbacca with a facial tick that looks like he's about to snap... that's me, so say hi...

That is exactly why I am doing this... I log in with these characters, tend harvestors, pay maintenance and log out. I don't just want to give my stuff to just anyone though... as a major Ent base Profession fan I want my stuff to go to my fellow entertainers... IDs, Dancers, Musicians, etc... so I have posted this on the Entertainer, ID, Dancer and Musician boards to let those I want to give the stuff to know about it.

I did this a few weeks ago. Went through my list and purged all the chars I rarely played anymore. All were on servers where various friends played, but had long since quit or moved on. I did not belong to a guild nor a city on any of those servers. I found I was logging in on those only to pay maints on houses. That isn't fun.

Will do. I hate to delete characters, but if all I do with them is log in, tend harvestors, pay maintenance and log out there is no fun in having them. I figure if I can reduce my list enough, O can play each of the ones I keep more often.

It is tough. I look on my characters as my children... but when all I ever do with them is to log in, tend harvestors, pay maintenance and log out, it just isn't any fun to have them. I figure it will be easier if I reduce the numbers, so I have made the tough choice and am cutting down. It wouldn't be a problem if I could have them all on the same server, but since we aren't allowed to do that, I am just going through the servers where I have characters and determining which ones will be easiest to delete. Of the 7 servers I have characters on, only Bria, Eclipse and Scylla are must keeps... and Intrepid is nearly so only because the town I joined there has grown into 2 towns and the guild is active and growing.
After Corbantis, Tempest will be easiest to delete from. I would actually prefer to keep my characters on Lowca over Intrepid if it weren't for the guild/city situation. Heh... maybe I should have my Intrepid MID grind up master dancer or musician, transfer the cantina from my master dancer there to her, then pay the $30 to transfer Loligo from Lowca to Intrepid... or even just remake Loligo on Intrepid and save my $30 since you don't get to keep any of your badges, credits or items when you do a character transfer. Decisions, decisions.
