Meh, thats pretty inconvinient. I hope you figure out a way to restore those skins.
I also wished theyd make an event for players like me that started late in Legion to actually have a chance on getting those for my alts >.>. Could be like TW or something .
This is the error msg i get when trying, and i have tried a lot! till i gave in and started leveling over. Thinking that i could just get it back that way.
(I deleted it back when we didnt have the increased character slots on each realm)
Just Blizzard being ultra-nanny with the forums. Same with profanity of even the most mild kind. They donāt want the snowflakes getting in anyway flustered.
Anyway, best bet is to delete the new toon with the old name and get them back in 2 weeks.
