Please add this service back, it is baffling that it was ever removed.

What about âthey deleted the files and have zero backupsâ do you all not understand?
Its baffling to me tbh
âYou think you do but you dontâ
Blizzard has a great repertoire of quotes about not being able to do things they later did.
There are different methods of deletion in data engineering, and almost all are recoverable.

Please bring back the service for the poor fools like me that missed the window.
Not asking for anything for free.
I just assume that the data was not deleted because of how big of a blunder it would be for blizz and the fans that would eventually want to return once classic BC/Wrath had run its course. I presume there are hundreds of thousands of characters that could be re acquainted with the service.
But if blizzard decided to make another official statement and reiterate about the clones being deleted then so be it. Put it to a final rest or bring it back.

What is there to reply too? Theyâve stated everything is deleted as of July of 2022. Thats the final nail in the coffin. Do you need yet another blue post reinterating that same exact thing?
Considering the original post warning people about the cloning service changing from a permanent store feature to something that would be phased out had incredibly low click through rate⌠yes. Some reiteration would be greatly appreciated.
The avenues they chose to alert people such as, innocuous discount emails, forum posts where less than 10,000 people viewed, and a decision not to collaborate with streamers in an effort to spread the word⌠I donât believe anyone had fair warning.
Many agree it is extremely likely that all clones still exist given the nature of how character data is stored, the individual sum of even extremely progressed characters only adding up to a handful of kilobits. There are simple solutions for reacquainting the clones back into Azeroth today that have been explored in these forums that wonât cause upheaval to Classic Eraâs eco-system.
May 22, 2022, is when we were given 30 daysâ notice that they would cycle it out. Until then, we all had the fair impression it would always be available.
No doubt this was at a time when people were looking the other way as well.
If, they choose to leave this matter unaddressed, this is nothing short of roguery.
If that truly is the final nail in the coffin, they buried live ones.
And making change without a platform is hard so,
If blizzard has buried one of your loved ones, please, grab shovel and help dig.

Ive read what âmanyâ on these forums and reddit believe. If thats the opinion of the âmanyâ ill gladly take the side of the minority.
Blizzard could bring it back in a heartbeat and charge $30 a character and make MILLIONS of dollars. They arent for obvious reasons. Because its DELETED.

They did reply, you just donât like the answer.
DeletedâŚmove on with life. If you got ta leveling instead of sobbing youâd have a fully geared 60.
Of course, you would have been delayed in forming all those juicy GDKPs with all that gold on your cloned toonâŚwhich is the real reason for the saltâŚ

Bumping this because I still would pay $30 to have my character back

Bumping because I want Blizzard to know that even though we leveled new 60âs and geared them out we will STILL pay to clone our old characters. Iâll easily pay $30+ for all my old 60âs, even a warrior that I have already out leveled and geared as another warrior, seriously.

They should have never converted classic players to TBC in the first place. Us on relaunch are the original classic era players and we got kicked out. SOM characters got a better shake than us.
Also whats deleted? My warrior is right here at 60 in SW on a dead converted server. I just need switched back to the version I was playing on and came back for.

Is Blizzard deleting posts about this now? I went to link back to a post I made in another thread and found that it was gone. There was nothing inappropriate in the OPs post or any of the responses, Iâm not sure why they deleted it.
