Help Character recovery

[Caidon 0]

Hello Admins, 

I saw a few days ago that there was a way to recover our old characters before the last big blizzard shutdown. I tried using it and was unable to recover my character from Elysium from prior to shutdown. Would it be possible to have the character recovered if I still have the WTF folder from prior? It still has my characters info inside along with the corresponding account info. Please help! I would love to return to this great server and community you guys run. 

Please let me know if this possible and I would be happy to supply the WTF logs or any other requested folders/files. 

 

Thank You

A happy player

Apologies in advance if this makes you unhappy but here goes;

The character recovery tool was used for previous servers of the Elysium project.

These servers (Elysium, Anathema, Darrowshire as examples) were all merged into a single server named Stratholme.

The users of the server project wanted a fresh server so we launched Nighthaven as a fast patch progression, blizz like experience.

The player base of Stratholme switched to Nighthaven, leaving the Stratholme server unplayable with only about 300 users online at peak times.

With a low user count the Elysium project moved the server offline and Nighthaven is our only project server. This server being fresh, does not allow for any character transfers or character restores. In order to play here, you will have to re-roll with everyone else.

The characters merged to Stratholme will be available for transfer to our Burning Crusade expansion server once Nighthaven completes patch progression, which is roughly in early 2019.

 

Again apologies if this makes you unhappy but we are having fun here on Nighthaven and hope you join us!

Why I never! *explicit remark* *racist slur* in all my years had such voracious *eplicit* and * explicit* *explicit * treatment. I have half a mind to *explicit remark* *yo momma joke* *derogatory term* *spelling mistake* *rage quit*!!!! 

But seriously thank you very much for the swift and informative response. I hope my character can be recovered when TBC rolls out. Cheers!

Sorry to bring this topic back up, I was just wondering.

I too played on the old Elysium project that launched in the summer of 2016, and saw that I can still find my character using the 'View Character' tool in the control panel, even when searching 'Nickname on the realm "Nighthaven"'. Is this merely a misrepresentation in the tool, as the character does not actually exist on Nighthaven?
