IGN: I will list 5 deleted characters I would like to recover. I will order them by priority, if I am allowed to restore only one or some of them. 1. Yaros - ~140 Marksman. 2. Yarow - ~157 Paladin. 3. Yarro - 13x Corsair. 4. IronBash - ~143 Buccaneer. 5. GigaShad - 13x Shadower. Some extra details regarding these characters that might help recover them or prove that they are mine: - I think I deleted all except IronBash together on the same day, in 18/2/23. - I created IronBash a few months later and deleted it around August 2023. - The 4 chars deleted on February should be on the same account. IronBash might be on a different account though. - All outside GigaShad have obtained the Legendary Collector medal. - All 5 should have emptied inventories as I gave out all of my possession in a drop party, trivia rewards or as gifts. Problem: I would like to request a restoration of these 5 specific characters. Unfortunately there were multiple other characters with the names Yaros, Yarow or Yarro but different classes and some on a different account. I tried my best to pinpoint the specific ones I want. Details: I nuked all of these characters around a year or half year ago when I "hard quit" Royals (thinking I was never gonna play it and them ever again) after some unfortunate RNG and extreme burnout. Even before that, I was playing on-off a few months (soft-quiting) for around a year before I went off the rails. Back then I was going through a rough period in life. I was also studying and looking for a job. In deleting a character, I was hoping to force my self out of the game to do something more productive. Unsurprisingly it didn't help much. I wasn't aware of being able to request a self ban back then, which probably would have been a much less destructive solution... Nowadays, I've managed to somewhat stabilize and I am doing well. However, I just can't seem to get back into Royals, mostly because of the grind of leveling again to 140 (especially the way I like to do it...). I also find it super hard to decide on a "main" character to commit to. I would start new a new class, and then start a different that I would think is "better". Then my OCD would nag me about those "useless" characters, which is why I have so many deleted characters with the same names. I've since played all 8 classes that I wanted to try and decided on which I enjoyed most - the 5 that I want to recover. I want to continue where I left off with each and finally settle down on one or two of them so I stop this destructive habit of burning bridges. I understand it may be very bold to request the recovery of 5 relatively high level characters that I myself deleted. If it is not possible or allowed, consider this post my admission of guilt, shame and regret. I vow, mostly to my self, not to repeat this if they are restored - and if I were to do it again, that I should not be able to request another restoration.
Hello, thank you for listing the details such as level + job Although Admins can restore characters, we do not restore for excessive deletions as this function is meant for accidents - we appreciate your confirmation of not repeating such deletions Should you wish to abstain from Royals, please request a self-ban at Ban Appeal The Admin will update here once the characters are restored Note: depending on the situation, some characters may not be able to be restored
we will not be restoring any of the Yaros , Yarow and Yarro that you requested since you've made and deleted many more characters with those names of various jobs and levels since the date you deleted those at. Whenever we restore characters we only restore their most recent versions, not those of 7 iterations ago. GigaShad is already taken by someone else IronBash has been restored
Thank you for the help Tim. I completely understand your reasoning, and wasn't expecting all of them to be restored. It's good to see my Ironman revived! Brings back so many memories!
