Shut the game down a little earlier today, now when I log in there's no mention of my guy!

Hope he wasn't hardcore!!

Could it be that glitch the guys were talking about during the stream, where if you give a follower a shield it does something so battle.net thinks you cheated and it locks your character or something. little fuzzy on that, don't remember the full story.

Contact Blizz customer service, hard to tell what happened but they might be able to help more than us on GB.

@wmaustin55: Game keeps crashing at the moment. Going to shut down and try my luck later but you have an idea there, I was poking around in the options earlier on.
