if you're playing SP, then try scrolling down (there's a scrollbar at the
right edge of the character list), if you're on the realms, you can only
have 8 per account

I am only playing SP. I wanted to see what was happening so........I
deleted everything in the save folder. I then copied one character
with the 5 or so files with the same name and different extensions and
now nothing shows up.

For some reason it is not finding any of the characters now.

Did you already apply the patches? The games is at patch 1.07, out of
the box. As soon as you install the later patches, the other characters
will turn up, too.
