I had the same problem.

I just tried to log in and was invited to play a local character rather than one from the server vault. I suspect that this is something temporary but thought I ought to mention it just in case.

I think what it did was when the 'Master Server' is down, the server automatically defaults to local players. (Its Biowares master server)

SO.. I added this to the INI file:

Account validation required during Master Server down times=1

So this will check now name via files. Should stop it. I JUST saw it checked too.. Is the master server down sometimes? When you log in?

Thanks for sorting that one out so quickly Z. It all seems to be back to normal now.

So far as I could tell, the master server was still up when I tried to log in earlier.

I have logged in to Undermountain before when the master has been down but I don't recall ever defaulting to local characters.

Man, sorry I missed that, I could have had a blast...

I tried.

Unfortunately the server was still banning illegal characters.
