Why tf would linking your accounts wipe your characters? Surely this has to be a bug right?

I have had multiple people I know create steam account, play on steam, link to haven (to use non-steam client) and have no issues.

Is the issue: playing on haven account then linking to steam (which has no haven characters)?

Did those friends have existing characters on their haven account first, or on their steam account first?

Steam first. No haven account characters at all.

I have both steam and the original client turned off, but still getting "Cannot link account to Steam while it is being played on.".What can I do?

Is there any way to link your unverified steam account back to your old already pre-existing verified account without losing character on the new steam account?

According to the logs, you were logged in the entire time you attempted to link your account, so I suspect you are somehow mistaken about the client being turned off.

I'm not entirely sure what you are asking, but there is no way to move characters between accounts, if that is what you are referring to.

Has this issue been resolved? I've been waiting for a month and still haven't found a relevant answer.
