Hi Nicholas.  Presumably the info generated in the client is checked 
somehow on the server to prevent hacked clients becoming a problem?  Eg, a 
completely point based statistic system would be easily checked by the 
server before the character was allowed to login.

I gather all info on a character would still be stored server-side.

Dead characters on permadeath servers can still return from the dead via 
resurrection so they shouldn't be deleted.

Cheers,
