You're right, you have no "obligation" to respect that, and when I see that no respect is given, I have no obligation to respect the code of conduct as a result.

I have a feeling this will come up again, but it won't be me. Someone else will wonder why something egregious goes unnoticed for days if not weeks, and they'll finally realize that the canned GM/Dev response of "hey it's free, we're not obligated to do anything" smacks of condescension and sends the message of "hey, my time's more valuable than yours". Nothing could be further from the truth.
I can guarantee everyone that you're inflating the amount of time it took for someone with authority to respond to you. I know from personal experience that when something goes bad in EQ, it feels like the apocalypse, and every second of not being able to play feels like a year. I'm sorry, but one night of not being able to play because you stupidly deleted a character is not the end of the world.

I also don't think that character restoration should be very high on the list of priorities, but GM's/devs/etc might think differently.
