Trouble deleting a pirate..

[Alehahaa]

In one of my linked accounts, I was trying to delete a character. But, after clicking "delete", and "yes" when it asks if I'm sure I want to delete the pirate, nothing happens. I've tried various times, even after rebooting the game/computer. It doesn't affect the character at all, I'm still able to go on her as if nothing had happened. Does it have to do with the fact that it's a linked account, and not my main? OR maybe, because the account is a basic account (I highly doubt this would be the reason). I would try logging in, on my main account, and then trying to delete the pirate from the linked account....but we all know that isn't an option anymore...

What could be the problem?
