Hi, I'm in the same case as you Greg712, and if I remember well, before Nostalrius Begins the staff said that we may would be able to recover one character after the release with the following conditions :
- only one character can be recovered by account
- it must be a character leveled up from scratch (1-60 without using the instant lvl 55 quest available back then)
- only linked items would be kept
- items not existing in the current patch (for instance ZG items) would be deleted from the character's inventory
- the amount of gold recovered is fixed (don't remember the exact number... something around 100 g, wich was actually hard to get cause ah didn't work well with 200 players or less...)
- if the name of the recovered character is already taken, a rename option is set
I might miss few things but that was the general idea. Even if I leveled up an other character on Nostalrius Begins, I would be glad to recover on of my old one
