Ghosts of characters past

[Aeryl 7]

I've noticed that a new character ID is generated every time you enter character creation (my TSW folder was full of them at one point!), even if you don't cancel the process. What happens to those "ghosts in the machine", do they still exist in some form?

Fun fact, a new character is actually created every time you enter character creation. They are then used as a doll for you to play dress-up with as you define their lives and what paths they will take. They look out at you with eyes foll of hope and wonder. They even get sent up to the server for just a taste of what their future will hold.

When you back out of character creation they get discarded from the server, rejected to live out cold lonesome lives, their remnants packed into dark folders on your local disc.

So... basically, no, they don't exist on our servers as far as I know.
