    15 posts .. 8 of which are new accounts.

    Wonder if they the same player on dif accounts or legit real people per account.

    To quote a recent post by a developer:

    Missing characters are still in the database. Sometimes an error occurs and they are disconnected from the account if they load too slowly when the account logs in. This happens very rarely due to corrupt character data. Previously (maybe 2018) a corrupt character would block you from logging into the account at all.

    The game now automatically disconnects characters from your account if they take too long to load, which causes the (admittedly scary) disappearance of characters when there are serious DB issues (like on Friday). Rest assured your characters are not really gone, and can be reconnected to the account with a GM command.

    Even in cases where characters are missing from the DB (very rare), we can restore them from backup flat files.

    I haven't posted in this forum for more than a decade. Although I still have the same account info, I had to create a new forum name to do so. I suspect many others also came here after not finding answers in other places. Hopefully we will see a response or resolution when the west coast has its coffee.

    They'll get it fixed, it's just early on the west coast.

    The question is do we need to petition on each account that has the issue or will they fix it globally?

    2 accounts, 6 characters gone. Still waiting for a reply to the tickets I sent in hours ago. I imagine there's not going to be a response until atleast tomorrow.

    It may say "New Member" but this has been my account for 20 years. It's the link to the forums and how little I visit them that is "new".

    Any thoughts as to how long the (needed I might add) downtime might last?

    More likely EQ is an old lady that doesn't like being interfered with! You change my code I'll keep something of yours!
