Hi!
I stopped playing WoW around late WotlK/early Cata and started again late BfA after playing Classic. Made a new char on a new server and having fun with it. But for the life of mine I cant find my old main characters. Could someone please scan my account or something to find them?^^
What I vaguely remember is having 3 horde characters on max level. It was one Blood Elf Rogue (Decna was the name maybe?), one Undead Mage and one Troll Shaman on a former PvP server.
I found my first character ever made (human mage) so they shouldn’t have been system deleted, but I clicked through most english and german servers and still cant find the specific group of characters that I’m looking for.
This link should show you all your characters: https://worldofwarcraft.com/en-gb/characters
Option 2 is, although very unlikely since it’s been many expansions ago, if you still have the same files from in the far past like a backup you can find your characters under this PC path:<Disc unit>\World of Warcraft_retail_\WTF\Account<Accountname>\
Hi! Ty for the reply!
The link only shows my current characters. When I click on the character icon (for the forum) on the top right it includes my classic characters too. Both links do not show my first character tho (the human mage (he’s flagged for a rename, maybe that’s why?)) and neither the characters I’m looking for.
The files are unfortunately irretrievable. I reinstalled my PC multiple times since then and at some point I got a new one too.
Are you sure you’ve chosen the right account from the drop-down on the launcher?
If you have, you’re going to have to log into all the likely realms to check the character list. The problem is that, coming back from a long absence, your realms with characters are no longer at the top nor do they have the number of characters by them.
I think all you can do at this stage is make a ticket. Make sure it’s short and concise and gives all the facts you know. Hopefully a GM will be able to find them for you. It will take a while as the ticket queue is long which is why we’ve been suggesting any workrounds that there are.
Good luck!
Hi, I seem to have the same problem!
Trying to play on an old Goblin warlock character. I’m sure i didn’t delete this character but I cant find it on any of the servers with characters. I’m sure this character existed because I used a WoW token on it when i resubbed during MoP I believe. I’m trying to open a ticket but I’m stuck in a loop cause when i select undelete character it just tells me to do so through the game. How do I open a ticket without putting it in a catagory?
If you’ve returned to World of Warcraft after a long absence, you may need to refresh your character stats. To do so:
- Select the realm your characters were on, on the character select screen.
- Create a new character on that realm to refresh your character list.
- Exit the game and delete your Battle.net Cache folder.
Also if you have a problem remembering the realm go to the item restoration page and see if you can locate the character and realm there.
Hi!
Drdeathcoil, we didn’t find any old Warlocks like that except one on the Deathwing server, so you might want to check there. No Goblin though.
As for your characters Scourgemarge, you should check Grim Batol, Dethecus, Forscherliga. You need to enter the realms to see the characters though they won’t show on the server list until you enter the realm and refresh your local account cache.
