Alt massacre

I found the other day that you can only have 40 characters per account. I kept trying new toons on different servers, and it would say "You have reached you limit on this account," which I kept reading as "limit on this server." I added up my characters: 40. I'm now down to a slim 25 after getting rid of a lot of level ones, and a lot of under-10s that I decided I'll never play.

Now you see why I only have one 70. The only alt I really miss was Sunstone, a Shaman on Chromaggus. Sunstone was a 45-50 shaman, somewhere in there. Chromaggus was teh suck. Perpetually low population, impossible to find groups to do anything. Plus, shaman was the QQ class du jour. I gave up on Sunstone. I sold everything except my cape, and I bought a long straight staff that looked like friar tuck's. Sunstone was all white, and he was formidable in size and hilarious-looking as he ran around Orgrimmar. I took him to the battlegrounds. I got every reaction from lols to people offering me gold go get gear. (The latter really surprised me.) I dispensed shamanly wisdom on a PVP server. In the end, I send all my gold to a family member and dissolved him.

I bet there's some secret way to yank him out of the twisting nether.
