    Wait for them to restore from backups.

    The Diablo3 dbs are safe, right?

    Diablo3.

    If my Steam Summer Sale games can remain un-played this long, they can wait a little longer.

    I would wait the one day for them to restore everything from the numerous backups

    Diablo 3... Borderlands 2... various other games I've bought on Steam and not played... Pokemon White V2... many other DS/3DS/Wii games I've not beat yet...

    I got options. MANY options.
    Games are not necessarily "easier" today. You are just a better player.
    It takes more now to impress many gamers than it did 2-5 years ago, because so much has already been seen and done.
    Many players expect to be wow'd with every release of a beloved franchise.
    These are generally NOT the fault of the developers, but the fault of many players over-hyping and/or setting expectations too high.

    Because they were updating the backups DUH! All at the same time.

    I'd probably look into what caused the backup "malfunction" and make sure this fantasy doesn't happen at my work!

    On a more serious note:
    I'd hope that this malfunction deletes this thread as well. Afterall, if there's a solution posted in this thread, surely that would be destroyed as well!

    maybe it was an explosion.

    Realistically I would either wait for them to restore everything which they inevitably would or finally give Rift a chance.

    Make another Kevyne.

    It's not like EvE or MUDs where it would take 2+ years to have the toon skilled and/or leveled.
    From the #1 Cata review on Amazon.com: "Blizzard's greatest misstep was blaming players instead of admitting their mistakes.
    They've convinced half of the population that the other half are unskilled whiners, causing a permanent rift in the community."

    They would just restore it with thei latest backup..
    /thread

    and to "contribute" to the thread, assume no backup exsist.
    Would leave WoW, seen everything I care to see anyway.

    Relevel my character as quickly as possible and begin farming to make as much gold as possible and dominate the AH.

    I'd take a nice break and play something else until they got everything restored from a backup.
