Wrong character active?

[Delsus]

Unless their site is coded really dumb way where only information stored is the character name instead of the unique ID and when you check the check box and press send it sends a query to match the account name and character name to get the unique ID and it pulls whichever one it pops up first on the query result.

I hope to god this isn't how their code works lol but as a website programmer I know some stupid people would code this way.

I wouldnt expect it, but if it is true then thier website programmers/server admins and programmers need to be shot at dawn lol.

But as I say I wouldnt expect it at all.

Convirting to a unique hex number is how it should be done (and I think industry standard but I could be wrong) its how I would do it any day, more work to code but less problems occur, to keep happy customers.

I think the hex number story is the real
The name of my char folder in \Documents\My Games\FINAL FANTASY XIV\user is 0152B1BE

It could be that, which would completly rule out a problem with how each character is identified, because when that hex number is sent it will have a checksum on the end, if the checksum is wrong when it gets recieved it will ask for a retransmission because the data is corrupt.

Forgot about that one lol seen it before but forgot.
