Bug - Quest Log Being Wiped
Users are reporting that their quest log is being wiped when changing zones. A fix has gone out but it may take a little while to hit your realm.

As an update, a fix has been found and implemented and it is populating through the live realms now. It will take a little while to cycle through and update across all realms/shard but folks should stop losing their quests.

So the question is will quests be restored, including the status that the quest was in, or are we gonna have to start all over? lol
I don't know if that is possible, Kamarel, but that is certainly part of the discussion about this situation. For the most part you should be able to just pick the abandoned quests back up, but for those who had partially or fully completed the quest, there may not be a way to verify that progress to restore it. One step at a time, let's get the quests to stop abandoning upon zoning first.

Should it not be possible for those of us affected to post someplace and have our quests restored from before the glitch started?
Likely not, Tawsh. We have no way to update quest progression, we're unable to grant partial progress, etc... . If we could, verification would require extensive log searches that may not actually provide a full history if some of the progress was made outside the scope of the logs (i.e. within a month on average).

As it stands it is unlikely that we'll be able to assist directly with restoring quest progress. If the quest required you to collect items that were not labeled as "Quest", they should still be in your inventory and the quest will update when you pick it back up.

You should otherwise be able to pick up any quest that you had before this incident by returning to the NPC that provided it.

We are extremely sorry for the inconvenience this issue has caused.

Is doing a rollback not possible?
As far as I know data isn't saved/stored in a manner that would make that feasible.

    Stop doing another expansion blizzard, u can't even understand what you already got..if they keep this up they'll get unsolvable issues..

    They should just do a new game n stop resurrecting a game that came out in 2004.

    On one hand we have people proclaiming that the game isn't the same as it once was, and on the other we have people thinking it still is.

    Make up your minds. There is no "resurrecting" however, that'd suggest that it's been dead at some point.

    Look at it this way, we got Warcraft 3 only because they put Warcraft 2 aside.

    They need to put WoW aside, for the next thing.

    WoW 2
    Diablo mmo

    Stuff like that.

    Arguing to keep WoW1 as their mmo flagship is like arguing WC3 should never have been made n should have stuck with WC2...

    WoW came out in 2004, it's 2018 now...they ain't doing anything new with their legacy franchises...warcraft diablo starcraft..
    Diablo is basically dead n last blizzcon they didn't even want to aknowledge they had the franchise...don't even get a diablo item from battle for azeroth ce box..
    Starcraft finished by tying everything together neatly, and we are going nowhere now...
    Warcraft...no more new WC games, just more xpacs n more buggs...

    At least the ones I had are still in my bags..deleting quests intentionally by player usually discards quest items but they remain which gives me hope this problem can be fixed..

    They’re not going to put a game “away” when it still makes them millions and has a large player base. It’s a good job they don’t listen to the opinions of pretender forum game designers.

    Developer A: "Players constantly complain their log cannot hold enough quests! They travel to the next zone and cannot accept new quests because their log is full!"
    Developer B: "I have the perfect solution!!!"

    If they can't do one game right why do you think they would do a new game right?

    Xpac ready to ship is not a valid point. Bugs happen.
