Can I bring back deleted characters?

I left wow and deleted my characters to get rid of the temptation to come back. However with a new job that keeps me awake when everybody else is at work I now have nothing to do 5 days a week and am interested in coming back. Is there a way to retrieve my old characters or am I sol?

Also I am interested in making another account and transferring some of my characters onto it. I know there are certain restrictions for transferring characters between accounts but did not quite understand what they were when I read them. Will somebody please clarify what has to be the same between the accounts?

Howdy, Arthalas.

I'm unable to guarantee a restoration, but you're welcome to submit an in-game petition requesting that the deleted characters be restored. Please include the character names and realms in the petition and a member of the Game Master staff will assist you as quickly as possible.

To transfer characters from one account to another, the other account must be registered to you and must be upgraded to the Burning Crusade. For a full list of requirements, please take a look at our Paid Character Transfer FAQ, here:

Good luck and enjoy!
