Characters Gone after Reinstall

[Smashem]

Hi,
I am using the EverQuest Titanium edition for this EMU. I had a level 12 Gnome Mage named "Quickcast." Anyway, I had decided to reinstall the Titanium package and make the proper changes to log in again. I had done this for multiple reasons:

After my first few times playing, and having changed nothing, things changed. I could no longer see many spell gems, the Combat Music (which I had as the original) changed back to EQTitanium music. Every time I attempted to make a new character, it tried to spawn them in the Mines of Glooming Deep. I had had the EMU working just like Classic for about a week, using all the tips from the Setup Guide. Then all these changes hit for no apparent reason.

Anyway, I reinstall, and when I log back into the server, my character is gone. I logged out to make sure I didn't accidentally log into PEQ Grand Creation or something, and I made sure that I joined Project 1999 Classic. Still, my character is missing. He is simply not in my login screen anymore. I have 8 empty slots.

Does anyone know what is causing this? Is my character still on the server, but I am unable to view him? Are there changes I can make to my game files to be able to select him from my login screen again? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks for reading.

(EDIT: I thought about attempting to make a new char named "Quickcast" to see if the name was already taken, but I wasn't sure if that would screw anything up server-side if it was allowed to go through and make things harder/impossible for any devs to recover if necessary)
