I know they must be busy, but it's been almost a year, they could give us at least something to go with.

I'm itching to come back to this game, and I deleted my character knowing fully well about the restoration process back in 2010.
They don't need to advertise it (or if you say they are advertising it, they really aren't- the only sign it exists is a small icon on the official website), because it's not as applicable as it was when originally implemented. Characters are no longer auto-deleted for inactivity, and people who quit the game without actively deleting their characters don't need to use this service anymore. It is very likely still offline because they haven't bothered to fix it since very few people used it around the time it went down (for the server merge, IIRC).

Most people who deleted their characters specifically did so to remove the temptation to come back- SE is practically doing them a favor.
