Agreed. Had the same problem with my ps3. Yellow light of death, burned out my system. Bought a new one, re-installef the game and I was overjoyed to see my character still there. But all my settings were wiped. Had to remake my macros, adjust all my HUD info, redo hotbars, and save gear sets all over again.

Still I was thrilled to be back and have my character, weapons, armor, items, etc.
