Did AeriaGames delete my character in their MMOGame Shaiya? That was my first thought after patching and starting up the game yesterday after not playing for months. As always, I chose to login to the server on top of the list, and found an empty character selection screen. Luckily, I was mistaken with the servers, as it turns out AeriaGames had shuffled the server list around, causing my server, Lailah, to be second from the top now. I initially logged into Phoenix.
So, if any of you ever thought your character was deleted in Shaiya, I recommend you to check all available servers. Chances are, you just forgot which server you created your character on!
