Hello. Played a barbarian till the monastery gate in act 1. Pretty sure that he was offline character. I hit esc button to leave queue and play offline - and I see no active characters in the menu at all
Sorry to hear about your loss.
Yeah… Lots of characters have just been deleted by blizzard due to issues on their side.
They won’t restore them…
Here is what they told me.
Sorry about your loss. I’ve heard of people installing the old diablo 2 and making a character then using editor to make it about the same and going from there.
Though for online that won’t work.
