Don't Panic (Missing Gear)Follow

Apparently there is an issue (maybe it's cleared up now) where your gear would be missing and your toon would be invisible. It's not just lag, as waiting any amount of time does not restore your stuff.

Basically you need to relog a few times (completely close WoW) and it will come back. It took me 5 tries on my hunter, and 2 on my rogue.

If that doesn't work just make sure you have your towel.

Just a heads up for those worrying they may have been hacked.

Thanks for the info.

On the other hand, your thread title was "Don't Panic" and I saw no reference to Hitchhiker's Guide. Smiley: disappointed

It's kinda messed me up. My bank had 2 bags and was nearly full. I logged in and the bag's are gone, and all my storage is now on me. I'm pretty sure I lost stuff too.

It's not an issue concerning the patch. You may have experienced the same problem before (at least I did once, like siz months ago). Not about latency or lag. I had no problems with ingame messages (like gchat and whispers etc) but I couldn't access my character, she seemed like a white ghost with some items in backpack as question marks and even ome items missing on her.

Opened a ticket, waited for like 15 minutes, didn't get a response so I reconnected to the server (not a relog) and it was smooth. I guess (I have no idea about how servers work) character loading and chats etc are on different pathways so you need to refresh your character login and it solves the problem.

So long and thanks for all the fish ;)

Blizz's help menu has an option for this. Empty out some slots and log out and back in. Your stuff will reappear. You may have to buy the bag slots again. The stuff is in "invisible placeholder slots" and will reappear when you have space.

I had this happen on my alt and tried it, it worked just fine.
