Damn, I take it there are no exceptions then?

It's not a matter of making an exception, it's just that there isn't a copy of your character anywhere to have it restored. The cleanups are made for performance and storage cost reasons. Maintaining the characters in a restorable state would defeat the purpose of having a yearly cleanup.
Sorry, one final question and then you can close it, what about the data backup feature on the site? Can that help in any way? Last backup was 9 years ago, it says.
No, that's for us to request, in case there's some catastrophic data loss on our end.
It isn't meant or used for recovering anything lost on the player end.
