To delete accounts elder than 30 days, click here. Attention: when you reset the pass, the nick is considered as 'new' so you'll have to wait 30 days again before you can delete it. There's no way to 'undelete' nicknames.

NOPE. I checked it a few mins ago and there are some differences.
1)
The accounts have to be elder than 32 days or you will get a Warning on the Website. Don't believe that? Create a new one, reset its Password and try to delete... then read.
2)
You can also reset a forgotten password from an old nick and delete the Nick right after doing this. Don't believe that too? Check your Nickname Inventory on XWIS: Instead of choosing the Game Listings in the menu, goto Chat, login with a valid Nick/Pass combo and then type

/names

then hit ENTER. This will result in a Popup which will show all Nicknames registered to your Renegade Client. Now select a Nick you haven't used for a long time (many of us do have such Nick-Cadavers). Reset its Password, goto the XWIS site

http://xwis.net/rg/xwi/?a=delete_nick

and delete it successfully.
3)
True, there is no way of any "Undelete". A deleted Nickname is marked as dead internally and cannot be registered again. This ensures that noone else can use it anymore and abuse your reputation.

Side note:

If someone reads this and thinks "Yeah, I just have to delete my Nick out of the XWIS Database, register a new one and cheat again." YOU WILL FAIL WITH THIS! If you have done cheating, chances are great that you are listed in the IPDB on AohostUK, which is a centralized Database which stores additional Information about you. You will be recognized when joining the same Servers you are banned from.
