i understand theres a facility to restore characters that were deleted. but is it a one off thing or can i get all my characters back that i deleted?
i had 6 level 70 characters, have i just got 1 chance to restore 1 character?
also, anyone got any first hand experience of this, as id like to know if you get all the items in your bank/bags restored along with reputations/skills and professions?

any info would be great, i tried calling blizzard but got nowhere over the phone
 
A GM will restore all your characters with all the items they had at the time they were deleted, just send them an in game ticket.

ahh, that could be a problem then as i got rid of all the items from the character before it was deleted.
will i get back a lot of naked lvl70's then? :p

You'll be able to get items back but they'll ask you to mention exactly what items the characters had, the item restore is supposedly once per account but as far as I know you can get the characters themselves restored as often as you like (though I can't see character deletion happening too often :) ).
 
so why did you delete 7 lvl 70's? was it one of those 'i'm quitting so i've deleted my chars', then mates convince you to go back things?
 
man i had a lvl 40 warrior, a while back which i deleted and then decided i wanted it back,

Was told they couldnt do it, as it was soo long back lol


Edit i deleted it back in 2005. :D
 
thx for the replys, i guess ill have to reactivate the account and get in touch with a GM to do it and find out exactly what i can get back.
and yes de@th, was similar sort of thing :p
 
I did it a while back with my lvl65 shaman.

You need to raise a ticket from the same account, saying which char and when it was deleted. Then they restore the char, mine was restored naked.

I then opened another ticket and told them roughly what gear I had, and when I deleted it. They got back to me a day or so laterin an in-game mail and basically listed what they thought I had, then gave me a quote for "cost", as I'd vendored most of it (or potentially could have done, sharded stuff etc). This was a bit of a problem as I had to raise about 38g with a naked charactor. I managed to raise it within about 24hrs (I got a loan) and then opened another ticket.

A bit later a GM appeared in front of me and said "right you owe 38g and change for your items", and traded with me. Then said "check your bags" and disappeared again. I had all my stuff back, including stuff I'd totally forgotten about, festive pets etc.

The only thing I didn't get back was any of the enchants I had on the weapons/armour, which was a shame but not a big deal considering they gave me the actual gear back.
 
I think so, off the top of my head. It was just the armour/weapons/inventory that were missing. It's hard to remember as it was quite a while ago and I sold the account shortly afterwards. ;)
 
ahh i see, wel thanks for the info anyways.
i just got all of them restored, naked :p
but they have got the same rep/skills/professions as before so thats one thing out the way. im just waiting for a GM to possibly replace my items but we will see.

thanks all btw :)
 
Nice one. Just keep on at them now, some GMs are funny about some stuff (I guess it's loads of hassle for them) but keep on at them.

I think I had my gold balance restored along with the naked charactors, it wasn't much but at least it was there, did you?
 
no i didnt get the gold back, but to be fair i did just send it all to a friend as i didnt think id be going back to it so im not expecting to get that back. more concerned about the items i didnt have equipped, like the tanking gear that was in my druids bags and also the healing set which was in his bank and other little bits and bobs in all of their bags.
i have no idea if ill get it back as it was yet, just waiting for the 2nd ticket to be answered now :)
 
You should get it back. I had like 3 complete sets of epic/blue gear on my char, in bags, in the bank (PVP Elemental, PVP/PVE Enhancement, Healbot) and I think I got most if not all of it back.
 
AFAIK the only thing you dont get back is enchants. also, if gear was sharded or deleted then i think you just get it back. but if it was vendored then you have to pay the vendor costs for your gear back.
 
cheers guys, i got all the items back, minus gems/enchants though but thats fair enough.
i had to pay the price for each item, only what they sell to vendors for though. this even applied to disenchanted items, i paid and got those back too.
so all is well now, just working on funds to regem/enchant the gear :D
 
Bet that cost you a bomb. i know i had to lend out nearly 700g for a friend to get his gear back but this was like nearly 2 years ago i think
