Deleting characters rapidly prompts to delete already deleted characters

I recently made two throwaway characters just to test character creation, and then I went to delete them. I deleted the first one and he vanished from the selection screen, then I immediately tried to delete the next one and it prompted me to type in the name of the character I just deleted, not the current one I wished to delete. I had to cancel the deletion process, click the character again, and then delete him.

Anyway, not a severe bug, but it likely points to a variable not being reset correctly after deletion; the game seems to think the deleted character is still selected.

    Your local client sends a delete request to the server and the server reports back that character has been deleted, to update your client accordingly. This takes a certain amount of time, with respect to how good your ping is. Doing stuff very fast may cause server and client to get out of sync for as sec, or more. All just a guess though.

    You replied a post which was posted in 2013 and the OP was last active in May 2013.
