Characters there.. but not there!

[MarvinCZ]

I think what he means the directory 'Documents\My Games\Freelancer\Accts'. That contains SP savegames. There is a "Multiplayer" directory in there, but that saves characters on a server. Yes, that's right. Characters are stored serverside and this directory won't help you preserve your characters on the Discovery server.

For that you need to save your account, either by writing down the account number or using Freelancer Account Manager.
