Help and Information - All My Characters Disappeared When I Linked My Account to Steam - Forum

Just linked my account from pathofexile.com to steam. Then tried to DM someone from on trade page. Could not DM anyone so, I restarted POE. Now all my characters are gone from both the standard league and affliction. Help! Last bumped on Jan 20, 2024, 8:36:50 PM	Posted by BlakeLupa on Jan 16, 2024, 9:08:38 PM Quote this Post

OK I sent the email. Do you know how long before it is fix. Or how linking an account can delete everything? Started play and character up just to see if my tabs and item are there. Wont care if it gets deleted.	Posted by BlakeLupa on Jan 16, 2024, 9:30:39 PM Quote this Post
Yeah I got my account back, but I still need to DM people from trade. Any ideas how I link without losing everything!	Posted by BlakeLupa on Jan 16, 2024, 9:47:10 PM Quote this Post

Do I need to play via the POE website first? Last edited by BlakeLupa on Jan 16, 2024, 10:00:47 PM	Posted by BlakeLupa on Jan 16, 2024, 9:57:23 PM Quote this Post

Once you have logged in via Steam you can add an email address to your account at https://www.pathofexile.com/my-account/connections if you would like to log into the website via an email. You should then be able to message people or use the Trade site.	Posted by Timothy_GGG on Jan 20, 2024, 8:36:50 PM Grinding Gear Games Quote this Post
