Character servers being rebooted or are busy
It is possible the character server received too many requests at one time and may need a few minutes before it will be able to get your character information. The most common time for this to happen is right after a server is brought back online after maintenance or rebooting.
Deleted characters
The character may have been deleted. Always make sure your account is protected. If in doubt, change your password and make sure it is a combination of letters and numbers and longer than 4 digits.
Expired characters
Diablo II Battle.net Characters track their own expiration status. For example, the character selection screen will show an expiration period of 10 days for any newly created character. Once you log 2 hours of in-game time on that character, the expiration indicator will disappear. When the character comes close to its expiration, a new message will appear displaying the amount of time before the character will expire. Characters will expire after approximately 90 days of inactivity. Be sure to keep your characters active by playing each of them in a game at least once every 90 days. We are not able to restore expired characters for any reason.
