    Uh oh, you think your Account was hacked into? Send in a support ticket and tell them which of your characters were deleted. If you're fast enough there's a possibility ZOS can recover them before they're gone forever.

    I'm so sorry this has happened to you. The amount of time, effort, and work to create and work on your best characters; then someone or something removed them. It's very unfortunate and a sad thing to hear. I hope you recieve some help for getting your character's back soon.

    Thank you. I’ve been playing for over 9 years and never had anything like this happen. Crazy. I logged in a couple days ago and everything was good.

    Open a support ticket. They may (or may not) be able to restore your characters from backups. Reply to first (bot) mail restating your woes because not replying gets it closed as solved and keep on it until you reach a human. Do not update a ticket unnecessarily because that places it in bottom of queue, and do not open several tickets about same issue. And be polite to support people.

    Greetings,

    After further review we have decided to move this thread to a category we think is more appropriate for this topic, as it deals with an account.

    Thank you for your understanding
