When you delete characters it's supposed to delete the exp data, too. Obviously that didn't work. Everything is supposed to be working.

So you recreated him in hardcore mode or softcore mode?

just deleted my 37 SK Pharmakos. recreated him with the same name. had no gear but had 38 talent points to spend at level 1. and it let me spend them on the higher tiers despite being level 1.

Core problem is it didn't delete your exp records. I'm looking at what went wrong there.

Want me to delete your exp?

i'm going to spend a bit seeing how much i can break =p keep looking at Pharmakos in the DB for the next little bit to see how much flak i can throw at ya.

I see a problem. Should be fixed soon.

Glad you found this. Would suck to release this way.

now i have a level 37 ranger named Pharmakos with 42 talent points

any idea how though? Deleting should be deleting your exp records. Still working this...

deleted my SK Pharmakos and rerolled him as a Ranger. weird things happened.

I think this WAS working, but I did... something...

Now... I could resolve this... but I am thinking it may be for the best to disallow creating a name more than once per season.

sometimes the best solutions are the simplest solutions. pretty sure i just broke a lot of stuff lol. at least we figured it out.

This could lead to some evil-doer sitting there taking names all day long, but... seriously?

After reconsidering this I kinda like this idea from an administrative standpoint because this would make character restores easier, too. If that was a thing.

And so it is done. Character names are unique. Dead or alive.

deleted my Pharmakos, tried to make a new one, it won't let me now.

Ha ha :/ Want me to delete them for good? It's the only way?

well, would be nice to be able to wipe/reroll and keep the same name. really though tonight i'm just trying to think of every way i can break your game. =p

Problem is with this current design it would be pretty tough to do that. It would make restores really tough. I used character name as the unique identifier instead of an arbitrary id, so. Yeah.

i suppose that is fair enough. i was mostly just trying to reroll for testing purposes, but won't be doing that once everything goes live.

Couple things server dudebros might want to watch for:

* Is exp loss calculating correctly?
* Can I play this game in two tabs/browsers/computers without getting booted?

Can someone test resetting their password, please? Thanks irl.

password reset went okay.

edit -- just got booted for multiple logins. wasn't actually logged in twice though, lol. just had a second window open at the login screen.
