Anyone ever try this?

[Taeketsu]

Just wondering, if I wanted to start playing again (Doubtful) is there any chance SE would be able to bring back the character I deleted in March 2005? I know they say only 3 months, but I've seen a few people get theirs back.

Call and ask them to try...all we could possibly tell you, you already seem to know.

 

[Zaltana]

did they stop that "welcome home" thing they were doing?

Most likely they can, but do what Strid said and call. they got mine back after 3 months after being deleted.

 

[Rones]

There have been cases of them going back at least 6 months. Just have to call and find out. 3 months is just their min, not the max.

3 months is just their min, not the max.

So...if I quit I have to wait 3 months before I get my account back?

No, what he means is that they will NOT delete a char before 3 months, but any time after, they're free to use the space to write over. I've seen at least a year from SE and my friend had his inactive in EQ for 3 years and still got it back. There's always a chance.

From what i understand they will retrive one character for you as long as it was deleted no more than a year previous to the request. Only one per account though

Oh forgot to add, I deleted the content ID that the character was on too....
So would that affect anything?

They might restore one charachter IF you have all your credit card info handy. If you lack it you are gauranted to get nowhere. Even still it is just a MIGHT. Deleting content IDs makes the situation worse I believe, if you physicaly deleted you charachter compared to terminating service is a big diffrence I believe.
