(which I JUST got back from repair).

There is your answer right there, I sent my xbox in because of RRoD and I believe they either replaced my HD or they wiped it, not sure which, but I lost all my data as well.

As for your character, I believe he is gone, but you can recover your downloads that you paid for.

Notice to customers who have had their Xbox 360 consoles serviced by Microsoft: If you previously downloaded content from Xbox LIVE Marketplace prior to your console service, you need to connect to Xbox LIVE to restore the licenses for that content on this console. If you don't, you'll only be able to use that content when signed in to Xbox LIVE with the profile that originally downloaded the content.

To restore your licenses:

1. Attach your hard drive or memory unit. (Assuming this is already done.)
2. Turn on the console.
3. Sign in to Xbox LIVE with the gamer profile that originally downloaded the content.
4. Go to Xbox LIVE Marketplace and select Account Management, Download History.
5. Select an item and then select Download Again.
6. Repeat step 5 for each item in your download history.

Good luck.

So, now that you've determined that it was your disc drive, I'm going to help you with an alternative.

https://www.worldofwarcraft.com/account/download_wow.html

That site will allow you download both the World of Warcraft original game, and The Burning Crusade. After they are done installing, you will need to create an account on the World of Warcraft site: https://signup.worldofwarcraft.com/menu.html, and you are set to play.

All you need is your authentication key to register an account, have fun.

If you have any further problems, feel free to contact me, or ask on the forums.
