Wait. I thought character auto-deletion was done away with completely?
For D2R yes. For D2 (2000) or LoD (2001), no.
Oooooh. Working as intended then. Carry on.
I mean that was their choice if they did that. I certainly did not, and those who did can use it for myriad other things than just playing d2. And not being able to play for a day or even a week doesnât somehow negate that.
I am still not sure what you are expecting. There is zero chance of blizzard giving a partial refund for this. Maybe you can get a full refund and not own the game anymore if you want, but getting $5 or something back isnât even in the realm of plausibility.
I personally donât care for the refund.
Iâd rather shine as much light on it as possible.
Apparently this isnât a day or week thing in many cases.
To be honest I hope it happens to most of you so that it actually getâs addressed
I mean I already said, I canât even play the game at all and I am not happy. I have been complaining about it a lot. I just think OPs suggestion is absurd.
LMAO are you serious? It is a b2p game. Why on earth would you/should you get a partial refund? Good lord what is wrong with people today? You did a ONE TIME PAYMENT for crying out loud. How about YOU pay more then if you play longer than 15 hrs?
Thatâs your example? Ummmm can you keep going back to the movies though for free after you made that payment? Last I checked you have to pay per movie. You do realize you can play D2 anytime you want and for as long as you want for years to come without having to pay monthly right?
This person has to be trolling because this is the most ridiculous post I have seen in awhile.

Are you seriously requesting a partial refund (10$-20$) because your character got lost in the process or hasnât been recovered yet?
Thatâs a quarter to half of the price you paid for the game and a character which is 4-6 hrs worth of your free time which you specifically chose to invest.
There is only time loss on your side which you didnât pay for in the first place, so why should Blizzard refund you anything?

Yes Iâm serious and yes thatâs my example.
you guys are dumb.
could you imagine in life if every time you lost time doing something you wanted, someone else had to pay you for it?
if anything, we need to get airlines to do this first before a game =)
LOL, partial refund for lost time. 
You do realize that the purpose of a game is to pass time?
Iâve had british airways cancel my flight back from scotland to US which caused me to have to find another hotel to stay at. Ya know what I got ? $2000 back, aka my money 
I bought a frozen pizza and have to cook it myself. I think I should get a 50% refund because I have to cook it myself
You should get a refund if the grocery store employee came to your house and stole the pizza. Aka blizzard wiping out my OFFLINE SINGLEPLAYER character.
They donât refund your unpaid free time which you chose to invest. You didnât lose any paid playtime.
EDIT: All you paid for is the license to play the game on Battle.Net. Since you already stated that you played the game, their part is of the deal is done.

Get off your highchair, youâre not important.
Acting like youâre the only person to ever have a save game in a game get corrupted and had to start over. You only lost a few hours, get over it.
If you donât like the game, get a full refund and bugger off, you wonât be missed, please donât ever come back.
Coming here to Karen all over the place with your dumb demandsâŚ

Itâs not a high chair, or even a horse. Itâs a maxnomic chair I bought in like 2016 for like $250 on sale and itâs pretty nice back support.
I think a lot of you people really need to go look up stockholm syndrome.

They wouldnât do a partial refund for a box sale, or of any direct monetary amount unless it was a full game refund with a legit reason.
Theyâve only ever done partial refunds in the form of subscription time in WoW. Day 1 server issues isnât a reason that legally requires Blizzard to give people their money back. This is common for launch day in big multiplayer games and people should expect this of Blizzard by this point. Theyâve been botching online game launches since WoW.
The way I resolve this is I just donât schedule off work. I go to work, I come home, and by the time Iâm online everything generally is working okay. Rollbacks are the tax you pay for playing the moment the servers go up lol.

Itâs been said all over but itâs just plain pathetic this is the standard. Hilarious part of all this is I played the closed/open beta with like 20 + crashes and never got a rollback.
Yeah for sure, I agree that this should not be the standard. But itâs simply the reality and people shouldnât be surprised anymore.
Technology is becoming increasingly complex, and the gaming market continues to grow. Throwing money at a problem doesnât always necessarily solve it either, despite what people would like to believe. Sometimes there are simply technological constraints that there is currently no work around for. Iâm sure there are better ways to handle big game launches though, without incurring such bad server stability or rollbacks, but of course Blizzard is just trying to make the most amount of money with the least amount of spending. By cramming as many people into the servers as possible, or whatever it is. This is what just about every other company would attempt to do. But these types of business practices are also becoming increasingly looked down upon, and Blizzardâs goodwill is in the toilet now.
People are willing to overlook these things for the moment, because they really want to play their games. Blizzard wonât last though if they keep going this way. People are only buying their games because they are re-releasing classics. Now that they are just about out of them to remaster, there may be dark times ahead unless they can re-invent themselves completely, and somehow breathe new life into their major franchises that are becoming stale.
