Achievements missing.

Every achievements I got before deleting my character is missing.

Platform: PC
ISP: Time Warner Cable
Type of Internet Connection: Cable
Internet Connection Speed: 14Mbps
Date & Time: 8/12/2011 13:00 GMT
Frequency: Once
Character Name: Shiro Karasu
Race: Elezen M
World: Saronia
Class/Skill Rank: R50 ARC, LNC
Physical Level: 50
Area and Coordinates: Uldah
Party or Solo: Solo
NPC Name: None
Monster Name: None
In-Game Time: N/A
Steps:
1. Delete character (Previous character name: Corvus Nightwind)
2. Restore character by support center.

This definitely needs to be fixed. Losing all those achievements can really hurt someones motivation to keep playing.

Don't see why they would keep achievements for deleted characters.

Lesson: Don't delete a character if you want to keep the data.

Not sure if any other MMORPG's do this?

Support Center said it was a bug and they suggested that I post here.

It is "required" that you delete you character in order to change the name. They tell you that, up to the part where they don't tell you all your achievements will be lost. This is not about Deleting a character just for the sake of deleting it.
