Well, my Gnome simply disappeared when I got my Wizard.

Which version is this? In some version they added that you could scroll characters and have more space for people.
But if scrollwheel doesn't work for you then I don't know what would've happened.

Actually there should be no character limit... it sounds like just an annoing bug. Is the G'nome still in your Egoboo player directory?

The fabled (upcoming) 2.8.0 version has fixed this bug.

There is a limit on the selection screen, and nothing more.

Translation: It's still there, but you can't see it/click it.

Indeed. It's still in your players folder though, so if you want to use it, just move another characters out of the folder, or wait for the mythological new release.

iirc, only the 1st 8 are displayed, no matter how many you have.

Exactly. It makes me rage in versions that contain that glitch.

Just move your less important characters to an archive directory. 8 characters are enough to have one character of every standard class plus one secret character. If you want to play the additional characters, move another one of your "active crew" out and insert the other one from the archive directory into your "Egoboo/Players" file.
