How to keep accounts/chars when updating DB
I'm not familiar with how to update the database, so I went ahead and did a complete reinstall except for the maps, using the install batch file. Not surprisingly, everything got overwritten, including a complete wipeout of my accounts and characters. Not a big deal since my characters are a dime a dozen (I set the experience multiplier to 25 lol) but how would I prevent this in the future? Is there an "update" script that only updates non-personalized stuff, or would I have to first back up accounts, all tables starting with "character," etc?
