I read that it might take a few days to get it all back which irritates me.  I had a ton of stuff bought from the AH in the last few days sitting in my mailbox waiting to be sent to the Death Knight I was going to play.  Ah well.

Just curious if anyone got their stuff back yet.

Do not expect it to come back before next Tuesday, they've fucked the database, and its sounding like they are restoring from tape and will need more downtime to merge tables.

That's if the game comes back before next Tuesday...

I guess that's what I get for storing stuff in my mailbox for a few days.  Why do you say next Tuesday?  Just because of maintenance?

I don't know why Righ picked next thrursday specifically, but I expect it will take days if not a week or two for all the craziness to settle down.

I didn't. I picked Tuesday, which is when they have their next planned maintenance. Because they don't want table inserts happening while they are doing a table merge, so they'll do it during downtime, and a planned maintenance gives them a six hour window - which they will likely have to extend into close to 24 hours.

Tuesday, thursday. They both start with "T".

I don't think they're doing it that way. They're mailing it back to you in separate new mail, not merging in the old messages you had before.

One toon got all the mail pending back, including one duplicate, but the one I use for all auction stuff is still missing all mail. Which sadly includes all the auction money from selling off my enchanting stuff. Figured the market for TBC enchanting stuff would dive after WotLK hit, and wanted that 50G for the void shards and 12G for planars. Which wouldn't be a problem except I just spent all my gold to get the fast flying thingy :(

One of my characters got a mail that was deleted several months ago. Free set of mithril spurs! Whee?

They resent me the "we found your pets!" mail.
So I stripped out the non-BoP items and mailed them to someone else. 

Still trying to find a way to fwd the BoP mounts and pets to another character though.
