We’re aware of the issues players are having creating games and the blank online character lists. We’re doing some maintenance at the moment and working on getting that issue fixed ASAP. Thanks for all the reports, and follow the thread here for updates.
Please note that this is not the same issue as the “Character is already in a game” issue. For updates on that, please follow this post instead.
Editing to provide some extra information

Same happened to me. Does it take you a long time log in now as well? And then just blank account?
I’m guessing the chars aren’t really gone, but something is broken on the blizzard servers… I’m sure chars will be back, just very annoying - we paid for the game and we can’t play.
Glad you at least let us know but Diablo team i need you to be better than the WoW team they failed me and im truly loving D2 so please lets hype up that motivation because your community believes in you!
