Posted October 28, 2015 Update;So for almost a week I've been talking with Rockstar Support about my two lost characters. Sadly they were not able to recover the characters nor reset my account back to a certain date when I stopped playing. However, they worked with me a bit and first set my character's level back to rank 65(thanks to Steam achievements it seems) and compensated me $2 million, however I pushed back a bit and they offered that they could compensate a some more GTA$(probably due to some screenshots I provided, not sure), they then compensated $10 million more, which to me was still a bit low, but it was enough to where I could buy an apartment, some cars, and a plane. You can see screenshots of my conversation with Rockstar support here: http://imgur.com/a/nvzgv Or you can view them in this spoiler here; I think I was able to push for more GTA$ since I had a few images of old garages with cars inside and I got my main character's level back because Steam has a "Rank 100" achievement or something which saved my Rank 65 progress. So if you guys are worried about losing your characters like I did, I highly advise you that you take screenshots of EVERYTHING you have. Cars, apartments, garages, clothes, planes, boats, weapons, character level, progress, etc. etc. It really sucks that Rockstar is so short sighted that they didn't implement a character backup system anywhere and this has really put me off buying any GTA games or really any open world multiplayer games from Rockstar in the future. This is equivalent to losing your WoW character that you spent hundreds of hours playing on and Blizzard went "Well here's some gold for your loss, can't help you any further!". Got a really bad taste in my mouth, but I highly appreciate Rockstar's support being really quick and informative answering questions I had and assisting me in this matter.Original Post;I'm on PC, haven't played in months, launched/signed into GTA Online today just to see whats new and both of my characters(one male, one female) are both gone lol. I've contacted support already so we'll see what happens, but I'm pretty pissed off, hundreds of hours just gone! Figured I'd post this here to keep a log of what happens, don't really feel as if this is PC section worthy, but curious to see what other say or have had a similar experience. RIP my millions and custom cars! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted October 28, 2015 Author Sucks dude Yup, I was able to go into the character selection screen and I saw that I had a "EChondo" character, but I don't recognize the character at all. So I'm not sure if somewhere a transfer happened and messed up or I got reset somehow. I haven't gotten any emails from Rockstar about my account, hopefully this is just a server error or something. If not then I guess my ~240 hours will be wasted and I'll just never play again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted October 28, 2015 I lost my will to even attempt GTA Online altogether. I honestly just rather watch the Tek Syndicate crew fuck around on it than go through the grief myself. ------- Current Rig ------- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
