Many died on Doomhowl due to circumstances caused by distributed denial-of-service (DDOS) attacks on March12th, 13th and potential 14th that were targeted more at disrupting the World First Attempts on the retail realms (but invariably disrupted the HC realms too).
There has been restorations for characters for the other confirmed DDOS attacks. Is Blizzard going to extend their considerations to that series of DDOS attacks?
I lost my 37 druid (Oldsun) on Doomhowl as a result of those attacks, as well as many others at the exact same time. Some of those deaths were friends who have subsequently quit the game because of it, despite restoration considerations being offered to other identical DDOS deaths albeit at later dates.
Can Blizzard please give some communication around whether the March 12, 13 and 14 DDOS attack deaths on the HC realms will get similar considerations? It seems unfair that other DDOS attacks get restoration considerations but the confirmed DDOS attacks in mid-March don’t.

I concur with this request. It would be nice to know if Blizzard is even considering this. I think most of us hc players just want equal treatment above all.

You need to ask the important question: how many streamers died.

I get the meme, but without regularly bringing this up, we won’t get the same treatment as the other DDOS attacks.

Hey don’t forget about the ddos on the 29th/30th that they also skipped over even after they announced roll backs moving forward. Theres definitely someone out there that died to that one I’m sure!

Any DDOS attack that they themselves identify and subsequently warn players of throug the battlenet app, should receive the same treatment.
Bump for further exposure.

It’s hard for Blizzard and shills to beat the “it’s not just for the streamers” allegations when there’s been multiple DDoS’es and the ones that streamers died in gets an unprecedented rezz and the others don’t.
Rezz all who die in server-side outages, in fairness. Not just those who’ve died to DDoS’es.

They can’t beat the allegations because they’re pretty much just fact at this point. If you don’t actively bring them business in one form or another, you’re worthless to them. They don’t care until it affects their bottom line. Even if the thousands that died in the DDoS attacks unsubbed, it’s more or less a drop in the bucket. Sucks for sure for the players but they’ve proved time and time again that they don’t care about their players, only their investors.

And all those streamers no longer really play hardcore 
They rezzed them then they stopped playing, because the next thing came up and the streamers moved on. They could have left them dead, and the same effect would have happened, except hardcore would still have integrity.

i don’t think anybody is even attempting to “beat” that; we all just accept it
lol did onlyfangs really quit anyway blizzard is so pathetic
The real pathetic people are the people asking for revives… and the people who watch streamers.
Spoken as someone who didn’t lose a higher level character to a DDOS attack.

Can’t confirm 100%. But, I check randomly and the members are playing either different games or something non-HC like SoD or seasonal PvP.
I died to this and never got my Hunter back

Can the devs please review and consider revival of the ddos deaths from this date range? Lost my 60 mage on March 12th and the death still weighs heavy on me. All I wanted to do was play with friends after coming home from deployment. I was helping in a BRD run when the mass dc’s happened right after we pulled a destroyer pack. Losing my toon has already set me back several months from being able to raid with my friends. By now, I’ve lost hope for a mass res for this date. Please consider reviving my one toon: Kiyaraa (currently on Dreamscythe). Please prove the trolls wrong and help me out.
