I tried to create an account through the client with @register, but when I typed @confirm and got to putting my email back in, I got no further output from the client and couldn't seem to convince it to play nice.
I tried to workaround it by creating a web account first, which seemed to work, but now when I try to create a new character I get an error saying something along the lines of "account already exists (invalid argument)".
Much sadness, I need my cyberfix!
