How long can I wait to restore a character?

One of my old accounts had an 80 Warrior that was deleted around Naxx time (over a year and a half ago). I'm considering reviving that account, and I would like to restore my Warrior, but is it still possible after being gone so long?

The following is a list of general timeframe in which characters are permanently cleansed from our database, once a player deletes them on their end: \

    1-30: Deleted after two months.
    31-49: Deleted after four months.
    50 and above: Never deleted.


While your character should be attainable once again, Tycho, there are other things that are taken into consideration when a Game Master is looking into the possibility of restoring a character. We do try to reunite players with lost characters whenever possible, though, Tycho, so you shouldn't have anything to worry about. :0)

Good luck!
