How convenient that this happens to be precisely where I live.

My Regular hive character just replaced the one I had on Hardcore setting. This is not a big deal since he is very well geared. I just want to know if this is supposed to happen or a bug?

Try the usual character wipe solutions. Don't move and try connecting to different servers. Also try connecting to the last server you'd been to prior to the wipe. If you did try connecting during maintenance as you said that might have wiped you on the hive, which would be unfortunate.

Rename the old profile files to the new ones. That worked for me.

Nice edit save lol. You sir, deserve my beans. See you ingame sometime ;)

Thanks, I was able to copy/paste the old profile information. My character is back. And so are my settings.

So I logged in today after a few hour break to discover my character appeared to have been wiped. No biggie. This happens, I know. However after a few minutes I saw that my account name was different. Before my steam account name was used, now suddenly it's my PC name which I figured is probably the cause for the disappearance of my character as there is no avatar under that name yet. So I wonder; is there a way for me to login under my steam account again and thus keep my character? EDIT: Not just my characters were reset btw, my video settings, audio settings, skin defaults. Everything back to Zero.
