Characters Rerolling?

[Kekephee]

Hi Red,

I started a wizard a few days ago to group with some friends who were interested in rerolling. I got him up to level 4 and brought him over to EC. He died in EC and went back to Steamfont and I didn't feel like getting his corpse. It should still be there because it's only been a couple of days.

I logged on today and he's deleveled to 1, carrying his noob quest item, and has none of his money or spells that I bought him. Like he's never been played.


Is this a thing on Red? I can't imagine why it would be, but there have been a few weird things that I didn't know about like not being able to use ooc till level 10. I just want to find out what the hell this is before I take another 2 hours to get him back to 4. Mostly cause, what if it happens again? It's not like losing a level 4 wiz is a big deal, but what if he had been 30 or 60?
