Character Restoration Update

Players are now able to restore characters that have been deleted.

Please note that at this time, there is a 60-second delay between each undelete. You will need to refresh the character screen, change realms, or log into a character between each character restored.

On October 15, we will be re-instituting the 7-day cooldown period between character restorations.

Follow along on the official World of Warcraft news site for all the latest developments as we journey through the week together.

Broom joke. Dang I'm old.Comment by Anise*!@#$%^&*s shamelessly rolling on the "give me your freaking money" bandwagen. Have they forgotten that they just pissed off thousands and thousands of players whose guild banks are now empty?

GTFO...we are not replacing a damn thing. Screw you and STFU but please buy this fyling broom mount. Please.

I am a certified IT tech. If you are honestly saying that you cannot restore the info from those data bases then you guys need to fire whoever is in charge and replace them with people who can do their jobs. Heads should roll for this. Seriously.

Blizzard just told on their players that achieves are not safe since none are guaranteed anymore. Especially the older ones that they do not want to fix but still have in the game. They also jsut told their players that everything you have is not only not yours to keep but if it goes then tough chit as we are not replacing it even if we are at fault.

And people still want to give these people money? I stopped my sub. Ive got two months left. Our guild lost everything in the bank. We started in 2008 i think it was.Comment by Johannezz*!@#$%^&*s shamelessly rolling on the "give me your freaking money" bandwagen.

Sock puppets hired by marketing? Well, duh, they have more than enough budget for that.

Hire some script kiddies of grad students to do a dig though the backups to confirm long term storage of lost items?
Hire at least one English Language major with a minor in Logic to fix all the text files so that they don't read like chinese engrish in a manhua?

Heh, hah hah hah hah hah hah hah.......

That will never happen.
