How to retrieve a old, deleted account

About a two years ago, I deleted my old account. I deleted it completely, and commanded the system to delete the account completely. Now that I'm back, and started a new account and everything, is there any way to get my old account? I have the info, just not my old email.

Syphron is correct, Mkdelta. One's account cannot be deleted; rather, once an active subscription expires, the account will simply become inactive. All associated characters and inventories will remain as-is (or in the state that they were at the time of the account's cancellation).

Should you wish to retrieve an account and are unable to do so via Login Support (http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/loginsupport/), please contact Billing & Account Services. Our representatives therein will be happy to assist provided that proof of ownership can be established.
