I actually dreaded writing this post because it makes me sad in a way. In all my time playing MMO's I've never deleted a character that was above level 15. And the day before yesterday I did... my Shae is gone. *cries*
Honestly, I never thought I would feel so sad about it, but I did. She was level 47 and had all her crew skills maxed out, most of her Cybertech recipes were epic, which took ages to get. *sniffles*
Not to mention she had orange bracers and an orange belt, and overall her gear was great for her level. *sobs*
But oh well, I needed another character slot as I wanted to level a Sith-marauder and my only options for deletion where Shae, Kaela or Khalindora. I couldn't bring myself to delete Kaela because she's level 50 and I had put way too much time into gearing her and buying things for her.
And there was no way I could delete Khalindora, I might not play her so much anymore but she used to be my favorite character and holds so many fond memories of her PvP times.
So Shae had to go...

Her replacement was also called Shae:

The result was:


However to compensate the 1,5 mio credits I spent I need to do some daily quests again. Should take me about a week to get it back. And then I can ponder if I want to spend more money on the legacy stuff.
