I read a thread a few days ago where people were talking about characters they wouldn't delete (or something like that), and a lot of people said that thay didn't want to lost all the time they put into titles and stuff. It made me think, if I lost all my characters, perhaps due to hackers, vengeful ex-friends (seriously, it happened to a friend), or whatever, would I try to rebuild my main or focus on another profession and make that my main?
What would you do? Personally, I think I'd play a War, but I wouldn't say he'd be my main, not sure I'd bother with the monk either. I'm a diehard ele fan, so I'd probably go with the Ele main.
Note that if you haven't been playing for long and haven't become experienced with anything, please use the third poll option or note it in your post.
If you somehow lost all your characters...

Id probably try to recreate my main character, my ranger. Itd be fun to play him through prophecies again, plus Id still have all my account based titles! yay for r2 Unlucky!
Shadowmere
Well first of all I'd probably break down crying for several hours...or days...
however if I had to start over i'd probably go back to my first love the ritualist, I've actually had the urge to make a new one lately, but don't have the char slots for it
lol all that's assuming losing the last 2 years worth of play time didn't disillusion me into leaving GW altogether.

First I would QQ for about a month. Then I would get mad and consider uninstalling GW. Finally, I would get bored and start rebuilding another Monk.

I currently consider my ritualist my main character. He has an insane number of 3 maxed titles (survivor, C1 and Factions Missions & Bonuses) - and he has the coolest action animations and the pretties armours. I am always IDing the golds on him too - although there is no way I hell I'd EVER get this title maxed but hey - it gives me something to do!
So if I were to lose all my guys - I'd remake him first and then do a mesmer also.
Maybe later re-do some of the other guys - because I like their pretty armours (by other guys I mean the necro, paragon and warrior)!

I would make a ranger, always wanted to play ranger, but somehow he would always be neglected sooner or later in favor of my other lvl 20 chars...
Also would make a mesmer.
So that would be "I would make a different main profession." answer

I didn't vote and I'm not really sure I can. My "main" is something I pretty much feel into.
I started playing about 2 months after release, however my main is a Dervish (obviously not remotely one of my oldest characters). She happened to be created at a time when I was playing with builds and offered me the largest variety of new ones (since Nightfall was new and I was at square one with her). By the time I had got as tired of her as I had with the others her titles were so far advanced from the others that if I was wanting to simply do something to advance a title she does it. Once those titles are maxed when I get bored then the others get some rotation, but I don't play *that* many hours so they get pretty much left behind.
As of now I would probably balance play time/titles between a Dervish, Necromancer, and Elementalist as they are my three favorite classes. Up until the release of Nightfall I pretty much split everything between a Warrior, Necro, and Ele - the Dervish just replaced the Warrior. Then again I've found my Paragon to be really interesting now that I can have her and two Paragon heroes (but, again, hard to spend time when she is fourth in line and WAY behind the others in titles/items and the few hours I have to play).
Though I imagine one single character would eventually come out as my "main" but, like the Dervish, it would more matter on which one circumstances made me play more (were I too guess, my Ele as it is currently my least played due to being the furthest behind yet it is my main farmer and would rapidly need access to areas for gold). But then, it may very well be the Dervish again since I know it better than all the others. I can only point to classes I don't like to play (Rit, Monk, and to a lesser extent a Mes - though the Mes *may* get into the mix were I to restart as of right now).
Actually, it isn't so much titles as mini-pets at this time. Outside of my Dervish, Necro, and Ele none of the others have done enough to worry about. Yet all are made before and up to the release of Nightfall - I don't want to loose the later series mini-pets even though I prefer other character skins. I rather enjoy rolling new characters but the mini's pretty much kill that (not that I'm complaining either - I like getting the mini's also).

tmakinen
If I had to start from scratch again ... I just wouldn't. 4000 hours of character development is enough for one game. GW2 is on its way and until then there's always PvP.
JeniM
I'd probably quit GW's
M @ T
Started with a war and got most play time on him. If he got deleted I would start a necro and name him Darrell Dimebag, a musician that some of you might have heard. I mean Pantera+male-necro-dance=_o_
Gli
I'd uninstall.
Pesi
I'd be rather PISSED by loosing 3 sets of obby armour and 3 sets of chaos gloves.
But I really think I would remake my mesmer in pve, but rest would just be pvp chars.

Tosha
I would recreate my ranger, because she was my first charrie. But the rest is so dusty they are QQing that I neglect them, and the charries I do play with are PvP charries 
Dark Kal
There should be like a fourth option for the people who don't feel any of the above choices apply to them, like me. If my characters got deleted I'd probably just stop playing GW since I hardly play anymore anyway. If I'd still play I'm in dubio between my current main as Warrior or a main as Monk since those are the two classes I enjoy playing the most. I simply can not decide between them without the situation actually occuring.
Rexion
you didn't add the options:
-quit
-play something else...
cause seriously. if my account got hacked and all my stuff was deleted... I'd give a biiiig EFF YOU GW. I'M OUT! and go play something else till GW2 (since that will technically just be a whole start over).
I'm not voting since those options aren't there.

Angelic Upstart
I would probably just uninstall, and wait for GW2.
I have invested two and a half years into this game, i could not / would not be arsed to re-do it all again even on one character.

Laughing Bat
This actually happened to my Guild Leader recently, it actually got him back into the game since he only has one character now. Myself I'd probably take a week or so off from the game and then restart my mes, it's really just to much fun to play not to rebuild.
Severlator
Dispite owning the game for over a year, I havn't invested anywhere near as much time or effort into the game as most of you have and have made and deleted loads on the way.
First thing to do is change password and maybe even the email if someone as them details and then probely make another character, one question though is if you have 0 characters are you still in your guild or will you need a reinvite with your first?

bhavv
I wouldnt have any reason to return to GW except to chat to my guild / alliance.
I have put far too much effort and devotion into my main character (elly) and also into my secondary character (monk) to lose them now.
I am not one that enjoys playing the game over again, I have already tried to on a mesmer and gave up fast with boredom.

Washi
I actually lost my 32 month old account due to a ban happy gm. Started over and having even more fun than before.
Stolen Souls
Odds are I'd stop playing, or at least take a very long break. Don't think I'd have the motivation to restart everything I worked on the past two years from scratch. If I came back afterwards I'd probably remake my Ranger the exact same way he is/was. I can't see myself starting a new profession that I'm not as good at playing, or don't enjoy playing as much.
MithranArkanere
I'll remake them the same.
I chose the best hair and face of each proffesion.

Jumping Is Uselss
I would quit GW forever and never pick up GW2.
I pwnd U
I'd remake my main (Warrior) and my 2nd main (monk) but otherwise I would just leave them open as pvp slots.
Pleikki
Lol Atm making new monk i wanted make new but didnt want delete old so i deleted my ritu 
So if id lose all id probably make first nec (main) then monk (another main) then sin and rest id make if i got time
quickmonty
I'd have to think about it for a while. Nine level 20 characters with elite armor. My ritualist with ten titles maxed, and close to getting several more, four sets of armor in HoM, black moa chick, and all the time I've put in.
Should I start again, or just wait for GW2? It would take me a while to decide. If I did start again it would definately be a ritualist.

Kusandaa
I'd have a hard time choosing if I quit the game or not, first. If I wouldn't quit, I'd remake my necro the same... but it wouldn't feel the same >_<. Then I'd get used to it and would work even more on my titles >_>.
Shadowhaze
Cry.
But I probably would recreate my main (ranger) again.

Aera Lure
Personally, I wouldnt even remake them. The time, the effort, the hours spent. I would not go through that again. If I for some reason did, though, I'd remake my main exactly as she is now.
bel unbreakable
i would just cry.........
fenix
I'd spend time getting better at CoD4, and wait for WAR and GW2. No way I'd remake, too much time spent.
C R A F T
If it happened to everyone at once:
I'd quickly start all my "new" characters with the names I like that are currently taken.

Queenie
Already happened to me, lost all my characters in May 2007.
Remade them all (well..most), totally loving it actually.
Oh, when I found my account in tatters I did cry, but luckily that day I was heading off to Fiji for 2 weeks, gave me time to think things over.
Never looked back since.

if I lost all 58 characters? probably go play a different game until GW2 game out.

i would probably kill myself.
suicide is the only only way out!
