I was not going to have time to play the game anymore, and deleted my characters, including a 70 undead rogue with pretty subpar gear as he had JUST hit 70. It turns out I WILL have time to play afterall, is it possible to get my characters restored? I deleted his gear then deleted him, I don't expect to get most gear back, but I hope it's possible to recover him atleast (the rogue I'm posting on) and my other characters like my 44 mage?

The best way to find out is to submit a petition in-game, Persevere. Make sure you list the character names and realms and that you had also deleted the items and if possible would like them returned as well.

Don't forget to state that you wish to use one of your accounts limited restorations too.

Q u o t e:
Thank you very much. I will do that, I don't know if you know, and I'm sure you can't be for sure, but can atleast some of his gear be restored?


It is possible but of course there are no guarantees, Persevere, it really depends on the items and when they were deleted. The Game Master that you speak with will be able to give you a better idea though. :)

Q u o t e:
I think in the future it will be best if I can't play to NOT do something stupid like delete my characters, and just leave them idle in my account.


That has always been my recommendation. :) You never know what the future will bring and if you may wish to return.

If both are being restored during the same request it is probable that only one of your limited restoration would be used, Krixie.

You might want to read my first post in the thread that you resurrected, Iatemypillow.

Is this just a irresistible thread? This has been jumped several times since it was first posted back in 2007.

Adramelech, if you wish to have a character or several characters restored you can make such a request by e-mailing [email protected] from the e-mail address registered to the account.

If you no longer have access to that address or don't recall what it is you will need to contact our Billing and Account Services department to have your information updated.
