Same issue, I think it's because we cant download a 500mb patch, my friend used to have this same issue but recently his client updated a 500mb-ish patch which afterwards, made him create new chars. However, My client isnt updating correctly or hasnt been updating at all, even if i spammed version check. Is there anyway you can provide us a patch for that 500mb-ish patch? or give us a download site with a zipfile of the latest client and patches. Hope you can help us.
