First time back since the merge and I'm missing characters

[DeathsSilkyMist]

I am assuming you had more than 8 characters across both servers with this post.

If that is the case, your characters are still there. However, as far as I know the only way to use them again is to delete characters that are currently being displayed. The other characters will fill in the empty slots.

Maybe you can ask the GMs to move items off some of the hidden characters if you want to delete those instead.
