Lost most everything I had. Unpaid maint.

One of my characters was not on top of his vender and house maintenance and as a result I lost 90% of my epic items. I guess it's all gone. It's my fault although I did not expect it remembering 16 years ago. Is there any hope of getting back items from removed homes?

Unfortunately it is not recoverable. The mechanic has worked as intended, and the houses that are removed get almost instantly deleted from the game database after they get to the point of removal from the world. It's a devastating blow, but remember you're not alone. I've even let one of my houses get deleted by accident before, as have many others.

Yes. I understand however it could have only been a few weeks maybe 3? I guess I didn't notice just how fast the house would be gone. Really took the wind out of my sails. and I'm not sure I'm ready to spend all the time and credits again to get it all back. Some of the items of course are 1,2,3 year rewards etc. O well

It would have sent through mails to the character that had ownership over the house announcing the issues it was having with maintenance. Always make sure to keep an eye on the mails of any character that owns a house on your account to try and ensure this mistake doesn't happen again in the future (especially on houses where you store expensive or rare items). It's completely understandable you feel a bit disenchanted at the moment, we welcome you to take some time to gather yourself again if you need, we are always here for you to come back and pickup the reigns again once you're good and ready. After all, everyone needs a break every now and again.

It's been a while since I played, but last time I logged in my house had gone poof too. Ton's of stuff I had since launch, items crafted by players who started the server (rich history), skulls of the banished players( I might not be kidding), some pretty cool things I had collected over a 4 year period of time. I know when I placed the house I had deposited 3-4 years of maintenance on it and didn't think about it again. Sure I could buy more stuff, but I'll never get back that rare weapon or suit of Armor Pwntera made for my toon. I'm not going to tell you not to feel bad, cause, well it sucks. It happens to all of us.
