Weird thing happened last night

I am new to PVP and rolled a PVP only sin last night. I finished a RA battle and was returning to the isle. But for some reason I went to the character select screen? I was thinking I hit the wrong button.

On this screen I had only four character slots that where all empty!!!!! After I initially soiling myself I thought maybe this was just a PVP option area to change your PVP character primary to another class or something till I read this

Choosing the Profession
First, the primary profession of the character must be chosen. You can choose your secondary profession after you've created your character. A PvP character's primary profession cannot be altered after creating the character. It must be deleted and "rerolled". But you can still change your PvP character's secondary profession.

I have all campaigns and 10 characters for PVE and 1 one PVP

I after a few OMG WTF noooooooo way I closed out GW and re-logged in and all my characters were there. Anyone else have this happen?

Just a server side error I guess, I had one a long time ago when all of the armors on all my Chars were turn into starter armor, then after log out/in again they were back to normal. If all your guys/girls are still there and nothing missing. Then don't worry about it.

/offtopic. Ye armors also are brought back to basic in the log-in screen after you re-installed GW. AFter you logged out and -in again the armors will be as before you re-installd it.

/ontopic.
I've read about his before on guru, like Etta already said most likely a servers sode error.

That sounds like the reason. It was a long loading screen then into the character screen. I should have tried to start a new character to see what would happen

I agree! I had a big shock after a clean install of GW, and that was just because all the armor went back to noob armor. I can't imagine how much I would have scream.

Actually I was so shocked I knocked my keyboard to the ground. Then I dove for it and started hitting keys while on my knees desperately hoping to toggle back.
