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.
