There used to be many bugs with select character option,
Players used to login to any empty server or sub-server, then used select character -> back option and then logged in to the server they desired no matter if its 'normal status - users' capacity was full or not. Also it was abused with dupe methods because there wasn't a check whether the user was being attacked or not -- the actual problem here was users not being saved by clicking select character option. Hackers were also abusing this to log into any character without account ID & PW validation.
All this could be fixed but they were too lazy.
