While Playing version 0.63.146783 while performing the eating animation for canned tuna a "no message received" error popped up I was then booted to main menu. After attempting to log back on I was given the "character locked in database" message. I then tried to log in with one of the other characters and it allows me to play on my previously locked character after that. I am under the impression that one must rename a different character then log into a server and that is how to bypass the "character locked in database" error.
To reproduce the action that allowed me to play on my locked character i

1. In main menu created another character and renamed it.
2. tried to log into test server while first changing the character selected to log into the server in the server screen.
3. after logging into server I found that instead of logging into the server as a fresh spawn I was actually on my locked character.
