    Title: deleting character with items on a vendor and renaming character results in items stuck on vendor
    Reproduction Rate: just happened to someone else
    Blockr? no
    Details: when deleting a character with items on a vendor, then creating a character with a different name, you will be unable to clear items off of the vendor with the new character
    Steps to Reproduce:
    - start with an account that has only one character
    - place a vendor
    - put items on the vendor
    - delete the character that put the items on the vendor
    - create a new character with a different name on that same account
    - try to remove items from vendor, it doesn't work
    - you can't use the "ban player for a moment" trick because, it's the same account doing the banning, you can't ban yourself, even though the name has changed
    Workaround:
    - give vendor to a player on a different account
    - other player places vendor
    - other player bans then unbans new name of character (old name can't be banned because it no longer exists)
    - items get returned to bank of original player's new character
    - give vendor back to original player
    Expected behavior:
    - any character from the same account should be allowed to reclaim items from a vendor (I'm presuming both name and account are recorded in the vendor information, or the workaround would not work), it's a silly limitation since there is no point in using that to trade items between same-account characters, they can just use the bank
