Character Restoration Update

Players are now able to restore characters that have been deleted.

Please note that at this time, there is a 60-second delay between each undelete. You will need to refresh the character screen, change realms, or log into a character between each character restored.

On 15 October, we will be re-instituting the 7-day cooldown period between character restorations.

Follow along on the official World of Warcraft news site for all the latest developments as we journey through the week together.
