That's really the reason I always advocate keeping a 50 around (though personally I don't understand people who delete 50s, but that's neither here nor there).
The Devs have said before that the intent is for the flag to get tripped and stay tripped by getting a 50, meaning it should be unlocked forever. However, that bug does crop up now and again, though for some reason it tends to strike redside more often in my experience.

The ability to make a kheldian is just a flag on your account that says "you can make a kheldian." Sometimes that flag gets cleared, and we don't know why. That's the bug. It's easy enough to renew the flag, just log into your level 50 character for a second. If you delete your fifty, you'll be able to make kheldians until that flag gets cleared, but you won't have a way to renew it.|

Of course, if we get a repeat of the bug where you can't make a Kheldian unless you log on an existing 50 first, we expect him to lose his option. Until then, he seems to be able. |

don'T attempt to read tHis mEssaGe, And believe Me, it is not a codE.
I'd be willing to bet that this flag is actually implemented as a database function (stored procedure that updates externally added tables, or it may be a view) and therefore is not persisted as an actual field in the account table. This was probably done to keep database restructuring at a minimum since such changes usually require code changes as well as introduce unwanted issues.
I believe that a Kheldian Gold Standard should be based on SO's, and for anything above that... there's Platinum!

Your friend should have just used a server transfer to put the level 50 onto a server s/he will never visit just in case the bug comes back. I'm just saying this since server transfers are free for the time being.|

Would save a trip to support to get things figured out if s/he ever gets locked out of HEATs.
