Characters Disappearing

[chocomaid]

I've got things going through my mind that I'm just gonna spit out.

To the account holder:
- When did that character go missing?
- Was the character inactive for a long period of time?
- Is there any reason that you personally wanted to delete the character?
- Is there any reason SE may have warranted your character to be deleted?
- Is it possible the character got deleted when the RMT banhammer striked?
- Can you prove to SE the character existed?


To Square-Enix
- What would it take to wipe out a character and all it's information?
- Why would SE delete a character and not record historical evidence?
- Is it possible all the information on the character's history gets deleted along with the character? Probably not since reactivating characters was possible in FFXI.
- I'm not that savvy with computers, but if it's anything like file deletion, is it possible the information is archived deep within a computer, hidden from normal sight?
- Does a GM have access to all the information regarding an account, such as reports, all active and inactive/deleted character information, market sales, etc.), anything that would leave evidence of the character's existence?

The character wasn't inactive at all, I was actually helping them in brayflox just a few days ago. I highly doubt the person would've wanted to delete it after all that hard work, and they never mentioned a slightest hint as well. I can't think of why SE would've deleted said character and it definitely wasn't involved in RMT stuff.

The odd thing was, if it did get hacked/deleted, they would have the data history for it. Unfortunately, we can't prove it existed since we didn't know that this situation can happen, woulda taken a few screenshots if I knew.

When was it created? When was it missing? this info may prove to help you find back your character.

It was created roughly about a month ago and missing now for a few days.
