Name Problems

[Faramier]

So heres the deal, im trying to add one of my old characters called mempriclus. Circa late May 2003 he was about. The add old character reports he cannot be found. So I figure he has been deleted.

I go to the add new character thinking I will just remake the character with the same name, and it tells me there is already a character with the name Mempriclus.

I dont think my account, also under the name of mempriclus is activated yet, so I'm not sure if this has any effect.

So, whats going on here, am I just being a complete dumbass or what?

I added a character with the exact same name as in the old client and it worked just fine. Maybe...just change the name and make a new character? All skills were wiped, and you would have to redistribute attributes anyway.

Did you use the function *add old character*?
