First off I want to thank the devs for making EQEMU and giving players some alternatives to the EQ Live servers. Hope you guys keep up the good work.

Now to my real question, I'm new so don't flame me if this is a stupid question.
I noticed that all the servers went down with the recent new 5.0 version that came out. Did the characters on the servers before the new version get deleted? And if so how often do characters get deleted because of something like this?

Any information would be appreciated. Looking forward to the completion of the new version and I'm eager to get on the GuildWars server.
