The ex wife deleted all my characters. How does the restore process work? (RP)

Good morning Zenimax. As I'm sure you're already aware, I am Sir Copperfield. I am your most famous, well liked and loyal subscriber. Now that the introductions are over, let's get onto business...

As you all know, I recently left my wife and daughter so I could spend more time gaming. Since then my life has been absolutely wonderful. I have been logging on average, about 17-19 hours a day of play time. As a professional gamer and someone who lives for MMO's, I couldn't ask for anything more.

My ex wife could of course sense my happiness and did the one thing in this world that could hurt me...

She deleted all my characters. 8 of them!

She had it all planned out. She called and threw a guilt trip on me about not seeing my daughter for two weeks. So being a concerned father, I decided to spend a few hours with her yesterday afternoon. I took her to the mall, gave her 20 bucks and told her to buy whatever she wanted.. I sat in Gamestop and read the Elder Scrolls Online strategy guide while she shopped.

While at the mall with my daughter, my ex broke into my apartment and logged on to my ESO account. She then deleted all my characters! She had my password when I still lived with her, but I didn't think of changing it since I took our only computer when I walked out on them.

What do I need to do to fix this problem? And quickly please. My guild raids in 30 minutes.

    I am not entirely concvinced this is a real post. In the rare case it is (or somebody stumbles about it):
    If you gave somebody your account data, it is your fault. There is a login so this can't happen.
    It is very common for Databases to use a "mark as deleted first, actually remove later" approach. Deletion operations can be very tricky an are best done when the server is not in use (propably regular maintenance). Also allows restoring of accidently deleted stuff in some cases.
    Otherwise to restore whatever the state was at the last backup.
    But that is a lot of work for what is essnetially your fault, so if they do it they are being realyl nice.

    If I were you I'd send a link to the Star Wars forums to Zenimax to prove this is real and something that happens every few months when you leave your ex-wife and daughter to be a pro gamer. Nothing gets help faster than someone who falls for the same guilt trip twice in a three month period on two different games and has their characters deleted twice by a crazy ex you just left (again?) who breaks into your apartment!.

    I say demand real justice this time...maybe hire the Dark Brotherhood to end this cycle once and for all! If you fail to heed my words just remember next time its your fault when she guilt trips you into a day with your daughter and deletes your level 50 Wildstar characters...all 8 of them!

    I disagree and rate it a solid troll attempt. Even better for the fact that its recycled.

    If nothing else, all the dopey positive comments illustrate how few people actually read any other posts in a thread before chiming in.

    This message confirms that you have successfully cancelled your subscription to The Elder Scrolls Online. You will no longer be charged for a subscription on a recurring basis, and your access to the game will expire at the end of your current subscription cycle.

    What? You never told the same joke twice! I bet your the kind of person that announces the punch line because YOU have heard the joke before.
