I consider every post made on this thread since my last post to be off-topic, as none of them are helping me compile a list of reasons to display when someone deletes. I don't want to know how you think we can fix these issues (in this thread).

I frequently delete because of either frustration related to leveling or perceived better opportunities with other characters. I find that I am never really happy with a character in SK. I feel like I have a difficult time differentiating myself from "the herd."

Top 3 reasons for me to delete, but come back:
Bad RP from others
Elitism
Bored.

Okay, I've taken this feedback and compiled the following nine reasons:

Will play again:
1. Bored with or burned out on current character
2. Character is underpowered or unable to compete
3. Not enough time to meet character obligations
4. Not enjoying the role-play of others toward character

Will not play again:
5. Other activities take priority or are more enjoyable
6. Find the player community too unfriendly or hostile
7. Consistently unable to compete regardless of character
8. Not enough role-play unrelated to player killing
9. Not enough tactical variety in the game

Please agree or disagree with whether this is an improvement over the first list and how.

Yeah. I like the new list over the old one.

With option 5 for the first list being "Kijam has been deleted for multiplaying."

I think it's an improvement, mostly because some of the options are more clearly and specifically worded.

I think as well that you really do need an option for "too much effort for too little gain necessary to be competitive." I couldn't tell you which side of the "will/will not play again" coin that would fall on, though, since it could easily fall on either.

What about if I changed #7 to be:

7. Unable or unwilling to compete regardless of character

Probably covers those people who see the cost/benefit ratio as not being in line with what they'd consider ideal very well.
