In the pre-patch for @Warcraft‘s The War Within in August of 2024, Blizzard made an error that resulted in wiping out items from guild banks. The threads in the US and EU(EN) forums have garnered over 3000 replies, over 44,000 views, over 25,000 likes and posts from over 600 users. It should be noted that this is likely just a tiny sliver of affected people.

​⁠@Blizzard claims they cannot restore the items. I don't think that's true. My opinion is that they are _choosing_ not to restore the items.

In this video on the subject, I discuss how, once again, Blizzard has remained silent this week, but so too have the people with real voices in this community.

I also talk about what Blizzard loses in me and in anyone who leaves the game. A customer, yes, but what else?

Please share your story in the comments, especially if you have a restoration to report!

Spread the word, let everyone know (politely) that Blizzard stole your stuff and you want it back. I'll continue to keep you posted.
