Thatâs unfortunate. I wonder if that has anything to do with the recent issues in the company.

Good, thatâs your best bet honestly. Good luck.
Youâre a joke, what is a classical player? It seems to be someone who plays classic, go a bit outside bro

Bring it back and make everyone who has had a character since the launch of Classic Vanilla have the right to clone a character, and I think it is not difficult for the developers of the game

The data is gone, they canât bring it back, if you have a Blizzard post saying itâs not gone then post it and prove me wrong.

Do you mean personal data, an example of this, what did she have of gears and jealousy
Impossible. I have my character and its level is 70, but it is in wotlk and I have rank 14 achievement. How can she delete her data? This is very impossible.

This is a thread about Classic Era clones and their data. The data for them has been deleted. Iâm not sure what you are going on about.
If Blizzard fancy a quick injection of cash theyâll suddenly find the âmissing / deletedâ data and offer the cloning service again.
Until then these posts / replies will persist on the forums. A bit like those wanting the return of Vanilla WoW over the years and the subsequent Wall Of No replies âŚ
Anyway, am currently enjoying the five level 60s iâve made since the cloning service ceased last year - it is classic vanilla WoW at the end of the day and I love playing it regardless when I can - but it would be nice to have my 2019 Classic lock back again 
(yes I missed the deadline due to real life commitments at the time which are far more important than a computer game will ever be, so totally forgot to do it but thatâs on me and itâs fine - though an email wouldâve been nice, it may have gotten lost among all the battle pet / mount / offer emails I always seem to get regularly from Blizzard so it may have been overlooked anyway lol)

I always wonder what type of real life commitments will prevent you from spending 5 minutes during 18 months period to choose/buy a clone in Era.
The fact of the matter is many of us do work in IT and know how the backend of these things work. Storage is extremely cheap nowadays, these so called services arenât done manually, they are done via scripts which automatically interact with their databases to âclone / copyâ from one database to another. With all this in mind it baffles me as to why they decided to retire it as itâs a service offering which they could literally have up and receive passive income for doing absolutely nothing.

i dont get it 47days and diablo4 will be realese if they planing to realese (new season-HC Mode - Clones ) layter there will be shift and few people will be playing at the start .but if they bring new season-HC Mode - Clones now players will be invest until d4 and they can do bought when the d4 realese but without no communication from blizzard noone want to invest time atm. For me dont want to lvl from 0 atm if there will be new server or small chance clones coming back. if we have certain news anythink will be realsed soon and we can do our plansâŚ

For me and my friends:
Real life was in the way of scrolling through the forums or wowhead to see the low exposure posts about the clone service retiring. If we got a mail or an ingame warning we would have cloned in a heartbeat. Since the message was âclassic era will always be there for youâ combined with choose a free clone now and buy the other if you want, and no warning that it would ever disappear, we just missed it.
Our plan was to ride the tbc>wotlk wave (which we liked way less than vanilla), give vanilla a break and come back when were done with the expansions. Which was about a week ago, also fueled by the surge of era popularity. Then we found out that the clone service is gone, which was heartbreaking.

It is but its even cheaper to delete it.
Passive income that they thought they had gotten every bit out off when they closed down the service, during TBC there werent a massive surge of era players so they probably felt safe to delete the data when they maybe had at most 10 people per month who actually used the service, keeping the drives they were on and the script running probably cost about as much as they earned for most of TBC when it came to cloning.
Keeping a service around that is not used is a bad idea.

It wasnât commitments. They just thought that Era would never be popular so they didnât do it. Now that it is they are saying it was âcommitmentsâ, I would bet money that they either played TBC/Wrath or retail during those many months.
They shouldnât have deleted the data, but they did.

The data is already 22 months old, thatâs a long period for a MMORPG.
You just have to love how people âknowâ the data has been deleted.
You have absolutely no clue and no proof of this, yet you carry on.
We have CERO proof that the data is alive, and CERO proof that the data is gone.
I have worked in the IT industry for 20+ years now, I can tell you for a fact that most long term data is stored in tapes and sometimes in two different sites to prevent data destruction (i.e. Fire)
The chances of this data being around somewhere is quite high, having said that Blizzard may not give a F. if enough people are not interested.
Wish us luck in getting their attention.
WTB our chars back.
I speak for Rat (Gandling), Urano (Gandling) and Lek (Gandling)

Blizzard saying itâs Permanently deleted is proof for us. I have linked and quoted that quite a few times.
