Accidentally Deleted Character

[gtsaff01]

Not sure if an admin could help... But I was trying to recreate a slot and accidentally selected my FOnewearl level 141 with pretty decent gear... Is there any way I could at least get my character back at that level?

Thanks for any help!

ok I'll be the bad guy...
Unfortunately there's not really anything we can do here, as it was a self-inflicted mistake.

Luckily it is the 6th Anniversary Event now, so it won't take too long to get back to where you were!

If this happens again, you can press alt+backspace or end the process while in the character creation screen and your character won't be deleted.

Can one not recover a character even if one downloads their character data?

No, that download is for transferring your character into another Teth installation, so if Ephinea does go down, your data can go to another server that accepts the files, whether your own local, an existing server or a brand new server.

The problem with restoring characters on Ephinea is we'd have to do investigations to make sure they haven't traded anything away, dropped anything, or otherwise done anything that could potentially dupe items. It's something that happened commonly on other servers, and it's not something we want to happen here.

The only scenario in which we would restore is exceptional circumstances, such as our databases exploding and deleting stuff, which requires everyone to be rolled back. These sorts of errors are unfortunately not eligible.

Makes perfect sense, not so much an issue of *can* you, but *should* you.

OH.. Yeah this belongs in FAQs / Wiki (°reminder for later°)
