    So this is pretty messed up. I made a character and due to a GAME BUG the camera would not zoom in so i did not like the way my face looked once i saw it up close. I decided I should remake him now befor i wasted any more time and now my items are gone and all my friends are outleveling me with their Mara buffs... =(

    That's exactly what happened to me :(

    In all the other games I played so far all the special items were made per character. Like in LOTRO. If you create a new character you get all the special items for this character too. It's silly to sent items from one character to another just because you want to play more than one character but only got one special item.

    I only bought the imperial edition because of those items.

    I already sent a request to support too. Hopefully they will help us reclaim those items.

    This isnt going to end well. People said all beta that this method was a really bad idea. They will be forced to change it and redeem to you guys so be patient.

    Well I guess I am in the right place! I made a character and could not zoom in when creating it , I did not like the character i made and deleted it after looking at the bonuses. And now I have nothing left. They got to fix this! Real Bad Customer support as well.

    My one message did say they were unique. You can store them in the bank but cannot mail them. I ran to the bank and am able to share them. Doubt this helps anyone here though.

    I did the same thing. Entirely my fault, but I still really hope there's a way to get them back.

    Same problem. I created a character and couldn't zoom in on the face in character creation, so it wasn't exactly what I wanted. I accepted all the preorder items at the time because I didn't know how to work around the bug so I was going to settle. I then read about the bug, deleted my old character (because it had the name I wanted), and created the character I wanted. Now, no preorder items at all. Every MMO I've played to date sends the items to every character you create. What gives? Am I screwed? All because of a bug? I lost everything unfortunately.

    The only thing that said it would be deleted is on the pledge of mara message. The vanity pets and the explorers pack messages don't tell you they will be permanently deleted if you delete y our character.

    Same issue happened to me as well. I didnt like my first characters appearance on account of the lack of zoom, so I eventually just deleted him and re made another one. Now I have no beta monkey or ring of mara. I honestly didnt even notice it said not to delete the character that was holding the item. I just looted my items and went about my game. I honestly dont feel like this is my fault and its driving me crazy knowing my perks are now ruined. Please help us!
    I wrote a poem that I titled, "The ganker's delight."

    As you lay upon the ground, cry not little pawn.
    The pain will pass as quickly as my blade did take you,
    but my delight will last and you will respawn.
    My heart simply cannot contain my joy, when I ply my trade.

    The fault lies with you, your skill was lacking.
    Now your salt is mine forever, can't you hear the laughing?
    Once you were so proud and now you are reduced to this.
    A miserable, loud deuced fool.

    With every tear you drip, with every excuse you let slip.
    All of your insecurities and worries bring a smile to my lip.
    From your despair I have ripped endless glories,
    but our affair is over now. Be afraid for I will return for more.

    I have received many titles, to my allies I am The sniper Emperor and Grand champion hero of the Pact. However these titles mean little to me, it is the ones given to me by my victims that I prefer. To them I am "Xv1er", "trash", "no balls", "zerger", "noob", "cringe", "no skill", "camper", "100% new", "the reason this game is dying", "pathetic", "a sack of piece of [snip]", "mediocre", "absolute inbred", "beyond a virgin", "ganky dork", "fat smelly 40yr old virgin", "little girl", "daddy", "exploiting loser", and every [snipped] word known to man.

    I called in and the CSR said someone will restore the items "soon". I killed my first after getting a good look at him. Wow, really needed the zoom at character creation.

    Honestly, this is a really sad situation. Same as all of you I lost all my in game content. Problem is, I want my in game content, that is why I pre ordered and purchased this game, to obtain the perks that comes with this game. Now I feel as I will not be getting those perks, and ESO just got a crap load of money from all of us, and we lost our perks. :\ If I had known that, I would of never purchased this game or at least the imperial addition and wasted my money on a game that has my money, but I can't use items I was promised. I hope they can fix this very soon...really annoyed. :(

    I just recieved a response from customer support and it took less than an hour. Everyone bashing their support should be ashamed Ive had games that took DAYS to respond on opening week.

    I apologize your for your problem, I am going to escalate your ticket to the appropriate team that way all your items can be restored to you. If you are still experiencing any other problems please don't hesitate to contact our Customer Support Team. Thank you and have a wonderful day.

    For the love of God, did anyone read the freakin' email with the items? It clearly said do not delete a character with the items in inventory. If you want them elsewhere, use the bank.

    Do you think maybe they have larger problems than, "I didn't read properly can I have have my vanity monkey NOW!!!"

    Wait for them to get back to you.

    You f'd it up, now wait for them to get back to you.

    Maybe you need to just play the game, since it's working for you. Instead of giving a hard time to people who's day isn't so rosey.

    I did try put them in bank; both unopened and opened and it said: You can't do that.

    Ugh.. No idea how long we're going to be in this queue sucks. And If I move, it closes out the ticket and I don't see it anywhere. Can't even play while waiting for CS chat???

    Thanks for your patience, guys. We're working on a solution :) In the meantime, please create and submit a ticket to Support so you can get yourself in their queue.

    The solution is simple. Don't make these things for one character only. Give *all* characters the items and you would NEVER have that these problems. This was brought to your attention countless times over the beta period.

    The zooming problem should have not been there either.
