For me I am new to the game as of yesterday. I downloaded it and made a character, joined the forum. During this process it didn't say the character name I selected was taken... Completed account / character name creation but could not log in due to network connection error. I left it over night because well I have been online gaming for ever and I am sympathetic to all of the issues the dev team might be having on launch day.
Anyhow today I try and log in and it tells me that the character I created yesterday already exists and is not linked to my steam account. Anyone know if there is a work around that I can do on my end to get this to work? Or do I have to wait until they patch this because it might be a common situation?
thanks gang. Good Gaming!!
