Yep, with just updated information sent for last used character.

I'd rather have a share mechanism between players - that'll solve the sharing 
between characters of an account :p

Let's remove the 'quit' command, then.
Have characters be deleted from the account management mode.
And if an account has no character, don't remove it if it's because the last 
character was deleted.
