where are characters stored?

[FatherCronos]

Are the characters stored on the servers?  I need to reinstall windows and i'm hoping to keep my characters.  Anyone know or can point me in the right direction?

 

Thanks much!

Yes, characters are stored on the servers.  Everything will be as you left it when you finish re-installing.  Note that binds, saved costumes, saved power customizations, window positions or customizations, or third party mods will be gone, as those are stored on your computer, but your characters will not be naked, or in different costumes.  You'll need to redo your bind files, your UI in the game, things of that nature, but again, I emphasize, your characters will still be there, just the way they were before you wiped your HDD.

Excellent, thank you!  Appreciate the help.

If you're reinstalling windows and DON"T wipe the drive, then you won't lose anything but settings stored in the registry (Tequila GFX settings).

And people really should be backing up these files.  When Homecoming launched, I had copies of all my costume and keybind files from back in the day.  I back these files up automatically every night to a different drive.
