This will delete any character that dies. Pretty harsh if you die due to Linkdeath :(

I got this working for him; he popped in IRC and we talked a bit. He just needed a const_cast and started working. Probably better to use Kick(), as it'll clear the connection too.

When will the server be up?

Discord didn't delete the character; you went to level 1; took away all your exp. I think it left your spellbook intact and some skills too; since I remember killing myself deliberately to boost skills/make money, at level 4 (since PVP came in at level 5). You could go back to your corpse, too, if the person that killed you left anything.

Im just trying to find out if the server is coming back up

I'd be interested in giving this server a shot too.
