Did Faerlina Horde Characters Get Nuked From Merger Debacle? My Characters Are Gone Now

I didn’t see Faerlina on the list and never saw the option to free transfer, and now all my characters on Faerlina Horde are missing but this one. I was hoping to catch a few up for Wrath and didn’t see in the list that Faerlina was going to be part of any merge. If so, can someone link me where Blizzard nuked Faerlina Horde?

Thanks!

I’m on faerlina and none of my characters were touched. Bug maybe?

Are they in Classic server maybe?

Angry partner strikes again!

Try restoring your characters.

Not sure, but if he is talking about Classic Era toons I can confirm my alliance in faerlina and horde on its sister realms are all available.

If he means Classic Era clones that he never unlocked, then those will be gone. The cloning service was retired at the end of last month. If neither a Tbc nor Era clone was ever chosen, then Bliz stepped in and deleted the Era clone and activated the Tbc clone.

Now the real kick in the pants would be if that newly-activated Tbc clone landed on one of the realms being consolidated onto Sulfuras, which would mean its unavailable for about 1 more week.

On TBC Classic servers, I moved them over to TBC when it was available. I did the move where it removed it from Classic and moved it the hew (at the time) TBC Classic servers.

Faerlina is big enough to not warrant moving people from elsewhere.

If it was a merger issue, I wonder why this character was not touched but the other four are now random class/race level 1’s. I didn’t see Faerlina on the list, and Blizzard has not responded. I could understand if it was from a merger realm, but this is kind of embarrassing on their part technically. I was leveling up two of mine already in Outlands and getting them prepped for Wrath, so I guess we will see…

This forum would be full of threads about problems if anything happened to Faerlina.

The server wasn’t part of the consolidation.

You should probably talk to Customer Support about this.

I did create a ticket before posting this but haven’t heard a single response.

So, I got a response from Blizzard in a ticket, and they said you never logged into these level 1’s. Of course, I didn’t because less than two weeks ago, I had a 70 Tauren Druid, 2 67’s (Paladin and Rogue), and a 64 Shaman. They were replaced with level 1’s that haven’t logged into the game.

When I logged on to see the response that I created these characters but never logged in, I was like, I just logged into all of them not that long ago (less than a month). The CS acted like I created level 1’s and never logged them in.

Here’s the craziest part, my 67 Rogue, a level 1 on Faerlina, just appeared today in Sulfuras. Faerlina was not part of the merger, and I think what happened was I paid for a character transfer for the ones that were turned into level 1 alts, and I’m betting they transferred from a server that was part of the merger.

So basically, Blizzard ignored paid transfers (I’d like a refund then) of characters on the realms part of the merger regardless of where they came from. So I look at my Addon data, and sure enough, the ones MIA are there and have zone and dates last logged onto. So the CS response felt like go pound sand (I suppose nicely) like I was crazy.

So I guess if anyone paid for server transfers and that server was part of all the merging, it seems it was not even safe on servers, NOT part of the merger. But the CS must not have looked into this… I replied with details of the time I logged in and out and their zones. I had JUST logged onto my 64 Tauren Shaman not that long ago, but CS said I had never logged into that character, so it was deleted and now a level 1.

I replied back, when I hear a response, and if they move my Rogue, that just randomly only showed up today on Sulfuras back to Faerlina as I paid to transfer to Faerlina.

Sorry for typo’s, was typing this on my iPad.

Hopefully, this helped Blizzard’s devs see some major bugs and help others who may have been hit by this edge case of sorry about your luck but thanks for your money.

So to clarify, you made a character originally on a deleted realm, say Heartseeker, paid for a transfer to Faerlina a long time ago. And now that the deleted realm was forced move to Sulfuras, it grabbed your character off Faerlina and moved it to Sulfuras, because the character originated from the now deleted server.

Sounds like a massive mistake on blizzard part. Hope you get that sorted! Sounds like a nightmare.

Cool, they deleted my post. Hey, to the spineless Blizzard employee that can’t accept their own ineptitude: If you can find the time to read and cower from mean words on the internet, how about you spend some time helping OP out?

You know, the poor bastard directly impacted by your failings? The one whose money you’ve stolen and given the middle finger to? I sure would consider that the more pressing concern over your pathetic feelings.

This thing has been a big mess generally. I was not able to create new chars until a few days ago. It just saying I had maximum chars and if I deleted one I still had maximum chars. The solution to that was literally deleting non cloned random chars on the ERA realms and wait 1 full day.
