Protect Deletion of Wizards / Accounts by Email Backup
'ABRACADABRA' is not a sufficient measure to prevent accounts from being deleted in the event of a hack / random lucky guess / someone else maliciously using the computer while you're AFK.
It would be nice to have an insurance policy so that wizards are not so vulnerable to deletion.

Agreed. I am sure players would feel more secure if better methods were implemented.

I think this is a good idea. I'd propose simply having a 8 digit confirmation key in ADDITION to abradadabra. When you get the email you can enter the key to confirm deletion of the wizard, and if you wait 20 minutes, the key becomes inactive.
For convenience sake, I'd also propose allowing people to use a phone number to receive the code.

great idea yess, if my friend ever gets my account I dont want him to easily just delete my character, there should be someway to know on what device was the account first played on or something, i dont know.
