When you delete a character in ArcheAge there is a delay before the character actually gets deleted. The amount of time it takes depends on the level of the character.

• Level 1-9 will have a 10 minute delay
• Level 10-29 will have a 24 hour delay
• Level 30-50 will have a 7 day delay

During this time, you will be able to restore your character by clicking Cancel Deletion on the character selection screen. While this character is waiting to be deleted it will take up one of your character slots and the name will be reserved. 

Please Note: Customer Support will not assist with bypassing the waiting time for character deletion.
