Restorations of Hardcore Characters Lost to DDoS on January 4

Yesterday, the Classic Hardcore realm Doomhowl in North America was impacted by a malicious DDoS attack, resulting in the deaths of some player-characters.

Today, we’ve restored the dead player-characters who were lost during the DDoS timeframe and remained on the Doomhowl realm.

That work is now complete and players who fit the above criteria should be able to log back into their character on the Hardcore realm.

Thank you!

Thank you.

I transferred my character thinking they were gone for good, is there any way to restore the character on Doomhowl?

W DEVS!!! thank you!!

Thank you so much! Remember to log into that charc so they register as alive! I thought I was still dead.

Blizzard, I know you get a lot of flak from people on a regular basis and not enough people take the time to post their appreciation when some big W move happens – so I’m gonna jump on the train here and say THANK YOU for reviving my fallen friends today!
