Any news on this matter?
I really hope they allow us to restore at least 1 character for each week this service has been unavailable or I’m gonna be really pissed.
You have to check here and there. Blizzard only inform when there are troubles, but i have only very rarely seen when they post that a certain problem is solved.
There is no problem, they just took the service down for the launch didn’t they?
It’s been down for almost a month now, since July 30th.
‘With the impending implementation of the new Warbands system, we will be disabling character restoration for a time beginning with the launch of The War Within™ pre-expansion content update. This service is planned to be restored at a later point in time.’
Yeah and it’s not a bug, it’s intentional.
I know it is intentional.
What I want to know is if they said something else on this matter since it’s been already a month and the character restoration service doesn’t stack, so we all basically lost 4 chances to restore characters and I expect a compensation for this.
And as usual they are ambiguous on the information.

They will announce the return the same way they announced the removal.
You really missing out so much by not being able to restore characters? Just don’t delete then then.

Yes, because I keep swapping mains and there’s only 3 names I like available on my realm so I have to delete and level up new characters everytime I want to play a new class. However sometimes I regret deleting them and so I need the character restoration system.

Seems like a user issue more than a technical issue.
Anyway the system will return ‘at a later point in time’ and I doubt very much they will be offering compensation as the service being removed was well documented.
That is irrelevant, it’s a service that should be available, especially considering it’s a P2P game.
So if they announce that the whole game will be unavailable for 3 months you would have no right to complain or demand any compensation because it’s “well documented”? Or what’s the point here? It is completely irrelevant if they announced it or not, the service is missing and players should be compensated for it, period.
Cool beans.
Good luck with that.
Honestly, if you are deleting and restoring characters enough for this to have inconvenienced you so much you need to demand compensation on the forums then maybe you have bigger problems that need looking at.
I’ve deleted two chars within the last month, both were level 1 name holders, one because I changed my mind on the name I want for my earthern and the second because I decided it might be better to hold the name on an allied race instead of a level 1 char.
I haven’t used to restore service in at least two years, yet alone needing it on a weekly basis, that’s just bizarre.
That is none of your business. And it is my right to demand a compensation ESPECIALLY when I’m paying.
Ok cool story but just because YOU don’t use it doesn’t mean others don’t.
And that’s just an opinion.
The service being unavailable for a whole month in a P2P game is a fact.

I’m not angry, but I will be if they do not give a compensation 
And thank you for your insight, very useful for the thread as expected from you.
You don’t have the right to demand anything.
Blizzard can totally remove the Restoration option & there’s nothing you could do about it.
You’re lucky they changed it from 1 every 30 days to 1 every 7 days.

They wont give you compensation
And to be frank nobody really cares if youre mad or not. Frankly what you are doing is bonkers, reflect and change would be the smart play.
Youre as likely to move blizz on this as you are to stop the tide coming in with a play bucket.
And you’re welcome! I’m glad you appreciate my insights.

I have the right to demand whatever I want, they simply don’t have the obligation to provide.
A good company will keep clients happy, a bad company won’t.
Indeed, but again I have to right to demand whatever I want.

I deleted my main because of a technical issue, so deleting and restoring was the last resort I thought of, as nothing else was working. Only after that I found out, that the restore function is disabled.
After it being gone for a month and not returning even after full TWW release, it would be nice of Blizzard to at least saying if something is being done about it.
