Hello dear Blizzard customer support,

I was wondering if it is possible if there is a way to restore a really, really old character that i created back in Classic World of Warcraft?

Short story to understand why i am asking this. Back in Classic Wow i was really young and I started playing because two of my brothers who are older than me was already playing. So I had my first character, called Patriik, a Night Elf Rogue on Ragnaros-EU. I am not sure what lvl have i reached with this character, as i remember it was 48 maybe.

I tried searching for him in the Armory, but as i searched for "Patriik" it showed me that there are 4 results. Even though it said there are 4 results, only 2 characters popped up for me, which was none of those, so i had no luck finding him in the Armory.

Is it possible to get this character back, restore it, or do anything with him? It would be a pleasure to see my first ever character again.

Thank you for your answer/help in advance.

Go to the server and click the arrowed circle next to the create character button. If it's not on the list or you get a message then you can't.

If you can't undelete the character from your login page, were you using the same WoW account then?

If it was a different WoW account, you can get it back and added to your Battle.net account. Contact support.

Someone who got their original Vanilla account back:

Open a ticket, you'd be surprised what Bliz can restore. Make sure to include as much information about the character as possible

What they mean is that you had more than one account and it's on another account. If you do have another old account then you have to add it to your Battle.net account to access it.

If it's not showing on the restore menu then it's not available. You could try a ticket but I dont see a GM being able to restore it.
