[Patch 9.0] Character not found

i don’t have it and I have the same issue!!

Well how about that – old shortcut to .exe bypassing launcher – logged right in and playing. Old things may still work .

Have made several attempts to log in…character not found errors galore.

Same issue - I can’t log onto any characters. The realm list doesn’t display any, but when I go to my realm they’re there, just not found.

Unable to login on Area 52, or Stormrage, character not found.

I can confirm that logging out and logging back into battle net client allowed me to log into my characters again after experiencing the character not found after sitting on loading screen for a few seconds.

Hope this helps someone else with this frustrating issue lol

same, just switched to a new characters and got character not found. Tried relogging and now all my characters are missing across the board, the server list is completely blank.

Experiencing this on Bonechewer. I agree we deserve some gametime refunds. I work a full time job and only have a few hours to play every once in a while. This lack of a functional product that I am paying is a direct infringement on my rights as a consumer.

Also, honest question: how can you successfully pull my characters for the realm, and then be unable to find the character when I enter Azeroth? Makes no sense. You obviously were capable of acquiring the character data already.

Happening again for me as well. If I manage to make it to trying to create a new character, I also can’t access my allied races. Frustrating.

Currently experiencing this on Mal’Ganis, with every character I select.

Yo I just got a Lua error. Blizz, come look at this:

Didn’t you guys get this fixed yesterday? Is this some second wave for the folks that dodged it yesterday???

I wouldn’t expect any gametime to ever be refunded. If it ever has been that would be a new one, breaking precedence and all that. This happens each and every expansion.

Also, folks – do try bypassing the launcher – try the .exe raw – worked for me, might for others.

Happy Hunting

They should connect the game servers to the one that does monthly billing. That one has always worked flawlessly.

“Character Not Found” While my girlfriend can log in immediately from the other room. I just don’t understand how this happens.

US Thunderlord server. can see my characters but, it loads about 70% and kicks back to character selection screen with the message “character not found”.

Happening on US Stormrage to myself and quite a few members of our raid team. Have tried all the usual fixes and nothing is helping

Oh no, this guy needs his 50 cents back. Blizz, get on that gametime refund!

Logging out of the launcher and back in has not worked for me.

Havent been able to login for over 30 minutes. Character not found.

Ok, I managed to get on yesterday on my main. I got the "Character Not Found last night for hours. Today I tried to get on her at 7:45pm CDT and I am now getting “Character Not Found” again. I’ve tried other of my characters on Argent Dawn and…Character Not Found. I also disabled my add-ons (which I use to fix the interface and raid) and I STILL get that “not found” message.

I am pretty upset about this. You had time to fix this and test it. You could have taken longer today to get it fixed.

I figure it may take the entire week to try to get this correct. I am expecting to get credit for the time my play is being interrupted with this problem.
