GTA Online: Lost characters cannot be restored
Any characters lost during Grand Theft Auto Online's initial teething problems cannot be restored, Rockstar has confirmed.
The developer revealed the news in an update on its Support Page, confirming that Online characters that disappeared during the game's launch problems cannot be recovered.
GTA Online has undergone connection issues since it went live on October 1.
According to Rockstar, the 'cash stimulus package' it announced last Friday (offering players $500,000 of in-game cash each) is intended to be some consolation for the progress and characters lost during that period.
The statement on the site reads:
"Given some of the recent technical issues during these first days of GTA Online, and now that things are starting to look much smoother (touch wood!), we are planning to provide a special stimulus package for all who have played or will play Grand Theft Auto Online this month.
"We will be dropping a cool half a million GTA$ in the GTA Online bank accounts of all players this month, starting as early as next week.
"For those asking about their lost characters or rank, those will not be able to be restored so we sincerely hope that this cash stimulus we're giving out this month will help you get back on your feet or to make your new life in Los Santos & Blaine extra sweet."

I had to learn this the hard way. I eventually got over it and just started from scratch.

I'd be pretty upset if I lost a good character.. I lost a level 3 so it was no big deal for me.

I was level 30 and I am now level 21 after the reset not happy but theres nothing I can do will just have to live with it. Looking forward to the 500k cash drop though.

Luckily I made a new character in a different slot when my first one was deleted or I would have been waiting a long time :p
My second one deleted one day too but I just dashboarded and It showed up again, Really excited for them to be dropping 500k in everyone's banks so that way I can buy another new car to finish up my garage :p
