Hey everyone! So i just downloaded the game and made my character. After deciding i didnt like the way he looked I deleted him to remake. I am now getting the notification that the name is taken and i must choose a different name even though I just deleted the character. Is there anyway somebody can fix this?

wait for server reset and it will be back. theres a bug where making a new character with old one could lock your account.

Just to clarify, what Manatikik said is true but:

The bug is still there but in the meantime to get rid of any reports of cant log into game and unable to fix it but wait for a reboot I added a check when making characters so it wont allow a name thats cached.

Can you tell when a name of deleted chars is removed from cache? Afaik a server restart isn't enough to clear the name.

simply put, when you delete a character the deletion time is saved into the DB and the check is towards the first update on the server on a boot (which usually happens like within the first 5 minutes of the servers uptime)

cache itself is cleared on a boot of the server.
