Steam Updated...New Prologue, No Characters

Darkmoon75

Hi. I play the Steam version of the game, and after getting the latest game update I got the new Prologue segment (The Raft) but after completing the tutorial I no longer have access to my old characters...just the ones they gave me for the tutorial. Is this an issue? Do I have to complete the Prologue again to get my characters back? I have over a year lost if I can't...

I've gone back into the PvP events, DPD, and Story events... and all I have are the 1*'s I had to use in the Prologue. Please tell me that I can get my stuff back SOMEWHERE because if I can't, then I'm pretty much done.
