Besides cash shop purchases (which also gave
reward credits), some of EME's Vanguards gave small amounts of TERA Rewards points (I know the Island of Dawn BAM VG's were one of them); I believe only the EME client was configured that way (at least for VG's) though so this would need to be added in to the EventMatching.xml for Vanguard rewards (search for the
Underdawn token ID (98414),
Dawnfall token ID (98549), and
Dawnstorm token ID (98550) for the IoD BAM rewards section. The ID for
reward points is 20000021 which would need to be added. Similarly, it would need to added into various compensation worksheets (or maybe the easiest is the WorldDrop[Small/Medium/Large]MonsterData.xml datasheets in CompensationData). I'm not sure if this works for all the other VIP account benefits, or if it is specifically for benefit 33 (TERA Rewards).
If you search for Compensation type="vipexp" templateId="20000021", you will find the commented out EME section for some of the other VG's in EventMatching.xml

Another part of the character deletion:
Additionally in ServerConfig.xml, the character deletion timer can be changed (amount of hours plus level that kicks in) or disabled completely.
<DeleteUser expireHour1="0" expireHour2="72" deletionSectionClassifyLevel="5" />
Deleting a level 11 character takes 72 hours so I believe the "5" is the level that triggers the longer delay time (expireHour2 versus immediate with expireHour1).
