deleted characters

Tanistian_Kanea · Post by **Tanistian_Kanea** » Mon Jul 21, 2008 4:39 am

ok so i was wondering if it is possible to recover deleted characters. long story short i was at my mom's house where my brother lives and he was accusing me of deleting things in his game. I'm guessing i forgot to sign out because now all my characters are deleted. and that is the type of revenge my brother would do (he deleted my stuff so i'm going to delete his (yes he is that bad of a brother)). i'm pretty pissed off at this and was wondering if any of the gm's could do something. if any of the gm's could that would be great but i'm not expecting much and won't blame ya or anything if ya can't.

You will probably have to perform some sexual favors but might be worth it...

In the past, files of deleted characters have been stored up to a week. As little as five minutes as well. So, I would say no to your question. If there is any hope, I would PM Alatar and ask if your character can be retrieved.

Well if the characters got removed from the server (so from the character section) they are removed. Clearly and completly.

The only way to recover them is by using the weekly created backups. So you can send me you characters that got removed. Then I can check if I find them in the backups.
But restoring them takes time and its not sure that I'm able to restore all informations (so Items/Skills could be missing). And if there is anything missing you lost that without a chance to get it back.

Just recreate the character with the same name.
Your names will be saved. Nothing else though.

Skills and items are lost,
And other people won't know you until you re #i to them.

And to restore a character is expensive that's why.

Good god, just go pay to play already...

So many problems can be fixxed with money

well not sure how it's expensive but if it's that bad i'll bite the bullet and remake my newest one. since he didn't have many skills or items it won't take me long to get him back in compared to other people.

Only joking turny, you can tickle my funnybone anyday

Oh baby oh baby. I love tickling your bone.

Then you gotta PG your joking skills!

Anyway, @Tanistian_Kanea: Make sure to change your password so nothing like this happens again. Do not use e.g. your name as your password and do not put a post it with your password somewhere. A good password reads like this:

IamtmaGM4eva!

(I am the most awesome GameMaster fo(u)rever!)

I believe they just didn't log out, not because her password is password like mine.

And yes, you are.
