So I accidently deleted my...
... Ascended level 20 Necromancer...I don't know, but is it possible to somehow recover him? I really don't think anyone wants to help me power levle another, and I am certainly not paying 10K+ to get run from Ascalon to Amnoon....any ideas? I ask because WoW has a character recovery thing, where you contact someone by email and they restore it for you...am I out of luck?

I really doubt it, seeing as there already exists a sort of "failsafe" option when you attempt to delete a character. (Entering their name, to MAKE SURE you know WHO you're deleting..)

You're better off contacting Anet support at http://support.guildwars.com. I don't think there's a normal option to restore a character.

Thanks, I know theres a name protection but I was dumb enough to name two characters basically the same with the exception of 1 letter.

ArenaNet only store a limited amount of information so it is NOT possible for you to recover your character.

Ouch, you can give it a shot...I don't think it's impossible that they will do it, just very unlikely....

To my knowledge you can't, but it only makes sense ArenaNet backs up their servers nightly to insure if a setback happens they can fix it, so likelihood is, you REALLY COULD get it back, but still won't because arena isn't going to delve into a backup to restore just one character.

Its not possible. A friend accidentally deleted his 2.4 mil exp. fow armor monk. he lost ALOT when he did that and sent a e-mail to anet support and they told him that it is not possible to restore your character after you delete it.
I dont see how you can accidentally delete it though as there are like 3 different failsafes so u dont accidentally delete it..... |

Given how many characters I've seen with names similar in structure to
S I L L Y if someone was silly enough to name their characters S I L L Y S I I L Y S I L I Y I could see them making a stupid typo and nuking the wrong character. IMO, though, thats their fault for picking a name that's easily screwed up, and while ANet will probably respond, sorry can't help ya, the support guy on the other end is probably laughing his ass off. |

It stills boggles the mind how it was accidental though..there is like mentioned, 3 fail-safes. Clicking on him, clicking delete, and typing the name...were you drunk? Did someone else delete it? Makes no sense that you'd go through 3 failsafes and call it accidental unless there's a good reason

If by "accidently", you meant "I was mad as hell about the update and deleted my characters, but now I've calmed down I want them back", then yeah, you can "accidently" delete one!
(just giving you a hard time dude, don't take it personally. Remember: it's just a game.) |

Well, I nearly "accidentally" deleted some characters that I wanted to keep, but because of the failsafe, I realized right away that it was the wrong character I was trying to delete so it was pretty simple to realize which one I really wanted to delete...So that saved me...So, really, this thread makes you think about how it was actually an "accident"
