Hopefully, the issue will resolve itself because I really want to keep playing but the thought of no one actually trying to resolve the issue infuriates more than the issue itself. I fear I won't be playing this way because of its tedious nature and I really don't want to start from scratch again. I know these guys don't make any money off of this but dare I say if someone in a certain guild had this problem, it would be looked at a little closer. Is there not a way someone with the proper power can recreate a toon? Anyway, thanks for your time.. /cheers!

If i remember correctly, i think i saw a post from a dev or gm saying there was nothing they could do about these error 1018's. Something about the character *not* being in game despite what the error claimed, suggesting it was (possibly) a client side issue, not server-side. Lyra's fix seems to suggest this is true.

I know it may be hard to believe, but in general, even if only a few people are having a game breaking issue like this, the devs will most definitely check it out. The dev/gm team is actually really, really good about doing everything they can to make sure *every* *last* *person* can enjoy the server. It's really cool.

That being said, please try Lyra's fix listed above my post, and let me know if this solves the problem. I am very interested to know if this fixes it or not!
