Don't do it.

I've had the game since the day it came out in the United States, and y'know what? I'm only level 25. Why? Because I made new characters, deleting the old ones for exactly the same reason; I couldn't decide on which race I was suited.

As you can imagine, I'm not very happy about it at this time. Most all of my friends have far surpassed my level. Had I stuck with it, I could be in the sixties now, like one of my friends.

It may sound like a good idea on the surface, but you'll regret it down the road.
