Hello all, I played here for a bit around 2011-2012, but took a break for various reasons. I'm interested in coming back. I do not have any of my old toons available when I log in, though. Would it be possible to pull them out of the archives?

Are you sure you used correct capitalisation, spelling, etc. for your username when logging in as characters are not (usually) archived or deleted from accounts.

Did you reinstalled the game on ur PC, if i remember on ur first attempt to log in you dont see your toons u had, but on the second time you start ur game there you can see your toons

It is a new PC. I tried once with a capital and once without. Neither time had my characters show up. I haven't tried rebooting, but I can't imagine that makes a difference.

As I'm looking through my email records, it's closer to 2009/10 that I played. I used to log in through Gamespy. But now there is this arf2 program. Would that make a difference?

No that will not make a difference, characters are tied to your login name so the usual reason for them not showing up is a difference between actual and what you're typing in. You could try doing a direct login to the servers through the NWN interface but I suspect that won't change anything. As I've been here at least as long as 2009 my characters from that era are still available to me.

Are you sure you're using the same CD-keys you were back then?

I'm pretty sure you should see your toons regardless of CD-key if you are using the correct login name. It is case sensitive so make sure it is exactly the same.

That's accurate Buddha, if the account name is right, you'd see toons.

They are the same CD-keys. I must have had a different account name. Any way to find out if I had a different account name tied to my email address? … hmm... that doesn't make sense either, because there was nothing with an email address to log in. I will keep trying different names that may have been the one I used, but I was quite sure I used the same name as the one for this bb. Thanks for all the replies everyone!

After some testing, I have discovered that even with the exact same player name that I used to create a new toon yesterday, I cannot consistently get him to show up in the character list. Most times I log in (with the same name) the newest character doesn't even show up. I should also note that when I type in my player name and password, I get a message that tells me that I "could not connect to the master server, and some multiplayer services will be unavailable". Is that normal?

et voila! Further scouring of old emails, including one from Bioware about a hack into their system in 2011 got me the information I needed! Old characters found!
