Summary
World of Warcrafthas officially re-enabled the Restore Character button after nearly two months. Though it was not seemingly mentioned in any hotfix or announcement,World of Warcraftplayers can officially use the Restore Character function once again.
The Warbands system is a blanket of quality-of-life featuresWorld of Warcraftimplemented duringThe War WithinPre-Patch. Geared towards making as many things account-wide as possible, this huge update changed a great deal about the backend of how characters communicate information. Because of this,World of Warcrafttemporarily disabled the Character Restoration service, giving no exact time for when it would return.
Now, it seems likeWorld of Warcrafthas finally figured out how to restore this feature. As of now, the Character Restoration button can be used once again, letting fans restore a qualifying character once every seven days. The return of this feature came with little fanfare, as it was not documented in any patch notes or hotfixes. Nevertheless, players can now use it as long as they have deleted toons who qualify for restoration – assuming they do not already have65 characters on theirWorld of Warcraftaccount.
How Does Character Restoration Work in WoW?
It appears as if characters who were deleted during the time when Character Restoration was unavailable are eligible for being restored, so long as they meet the normal qualifications for the feature. If players need to bring back a character they deleted since thePre-Expansion Update forWoW: The War Withinon July 23, they should be able to do so, provided the character is above level 10.
Now is the perfect time to consider restoring old deleted characters. The upcoming20th anniversary event forWorld of Warcraftis perfect for leveling new toons, as they can get an extra 20% bonus to their experience gains during it. With it, a restored character could easily reach the level cap and become a new endgame character without too much work.
