Characters Getting Automatically Deleted Upon Login

Post by deserk »

I have two characters that automatically and consistently get deleted when I log in with them. I've remade them a few times now through the span of over a week, so that's probably why this has gone a bit wonky. Any way to solve this, or is any staff I can contact regarding this?

I experienced something similar while creating a swashbuckler. It constantly got deleted, so I thought maybe the class isn't finished yet? But maybe it's something else then.
I had no problem creating eg. a ranger.

Yeah, I should note that both the characters I'm having trouble with are swashbucklers as well

Are you using the same character name as a previously deleted character?

If you made "Inigo Montoya" and deleted the character you can't make another character with the same name. It will get deleted again like you're describing.

So I tried again and I still can't create a level 1 swashbuckler, and yes it was a different name.
As soon as I finish with character creation the loading screen appears, but a moment later I'm back in the main menu with a window saying "Delete Character".
I imagine some script looks and deletes swashbucklers for some reason.

Yes, I made it with the same name, but I have done this with all my other characters, and haven't had a problem deleting and waiting after next reset to make them, unlike with these two specific swashbuckler characters. They consistently get deleted again and again automatically upon login, and I would prefer to keep the names intact if possible.

I have had this issue more recently too (approx the past 6 months) when trying to create a new character using a new player name. When I use an old playername, everything works fine. But new ones, I create a character and BAM, deleted. Not sure why!

The fix for this has been submitted and should be live soon.
