I also had several characters with names followed by what appears to be random numbers like "Nefandus24597631" for example. No idea what that is about. These were all low level characters under level 10. I was going to delete these characters.
When I delete a character it asks for my account password for security. This is where I've encountered a UI bug. I have not memorized my password. I keep all of my passwords in an app called Keepass. This allows me to have complex, random, and different passwords for everything. With the correct character selected, I alt-tabbed to Keepass to get the password. I have 2 monitors with AOC on 1 and had Keepass on 2. I right-clicked and "copied" the password and then clicked back on the password box in the game client, pasted the password, and then clicked OK. The bug is that as soon as I "copied" the password it switched the selection to the character at the top of the list, my lvl 76, and deleted it! Is this recoverable? Is there some process that I should use to request a recovery?
EDIT: While typing this, I tried to recreate the bug. It seems like my client just randomly decides to switch to the character at the top of the list. I watched it happen while I was typing this paragraph. I haven't found a way to reproduce it on-demand, but it will switch to the character at the top of the list after several seconds of being idle, even AFTER the password box is displayed. There is no indication of it switching other than the TINY skull icon moves to the top and the box that says "offline leveling" shows the "selected character" change to the one at the top of the list. So I can pick a character, click the skull for delete, the password prompt comes up, and then it randomly switches to whichever is at the top and deletes THAT character if I proceed. This is a very nice situation to run into as a potential returning player.
