My character is gone

The character was lost in oct 14, 3/7 am argentinian time (GMT -3)
Double checked the tabs
Sorceress lvl 65
Platforms: PC and Switch (they were already linked, I lost another 2 characters because of this before)
The Last game was played on Switch, so… How can I “accidentaly press the X red button” If there isn t any one?

Long time player from 20 years ago. First time I’ve bothered posting on the new forums.

I have several characters right now, at various levels, including a 52 Necro, 46 Druid, and several others in their 20s. Last played a new Assassin last night and logged off around 10:00pm CST.

Come back this morning and everyone is gone!

RIP

Character gone.

Came home from work today and checked the game. My characters are restored! Thanks Blizzard, for this at least.

My character is missing for ~ a week now. It disappeared during some kind of emergency maintenance last weekend. Level 72 necromancer, the name is Necrox. Please help?

Glad to see something is happening for some ppl, im still waiting and checking everyday. A respons on like a ETA or something would be great. Or just say “no help for you” so i can move on from this game and blizzard.

  • The character was lost: on the evening of the 13th of October;
  • Last play: October 13, 20:20-20:30 (UTC +5:00);
  • Offline character;
  • Double checked the Online and Offline tab;
  • Character class: Necromancer;
  • Level: about 25-27;
  • The platform: PC;

P.S. Any of my new offline characters will not log in, it says “Failed to Join Game” and returns to the main menu.

P.P.S. All files are visible in the savegame directory, but it still doesn’t work.

Played with my main lvl 70ish Sorc. Ended the game, made a new character, deleted this new one because of bad name, created a new one with correct name. Now I leave the game and when exiting I see all my online characters as they should be. 1 minute later when I start the game again I see my main deleted and the 2 newly created characters including the one with the bad name are there.
You call this accidental deletion of the character? The world may come to an end but I am fairly sure I did not delete my main character. Hope this helps your flawed database problems.

Hey everyone,

Thank you all for provided all this information, this has very useful to us and to the developers in verifying these reports.

We have now received a response from our development team, and they didn’t identify any bug with the game outside of:

  • Players deleting characters by mistake, which has been addressed in a recent patch
  • Server stability issues, including rollbacks, which were addressed in this post

Characters lost unfortunately can’t be restored, but we hope that both measures taken to address these issues will improve things, and prevent you from losing hard earned progress in the future.
