Character Restarted - Is there any way to go back?

[NaZz1 9]

My character got restarted 4 times already. After updates and just randomly (not affected by updates). Is there any way to prevent this from happening or if it happens is there any way to get your old character back - maybe by changing to another server or something?

I know there have been similar posts, but I do not think people know it is happening for the same reason.  Perhaps a sticky explaining it may help since people will search for different terms, etc.

Well good. Now you know it happens to more than one guy. Still no answers to my questions in either of our threads.

 You wot?

 

If a server:

• Is not properly whitelisted
• Loses connection to the database

Then your character will not save.

 

As new servers get rolled up, there can be some delay before it gets whitelisted.

That means: use the existing threads!
