Same issue as above:

there are more, but hopefully this will give a large enough sample size to fix the underlying issue.
I doubt this is an ESI issue. If you try to open these characters in game (by creating a custom showinfo
URL, such as <url=showinfo:1379//2029709492>Mystery Toon</url>
) the info window will hang and no character will be loaded. That's the same behaviour that you get when you try to show info for a completely random character ID. Perhaps these are characters that existed before and, instead of being moved to Doomheim, were deleted completely for whatever reason?
Addendum: The /universe/names/
endpoint also returns an error when trying to look up these IDs.
The fact in game is affected will help with debugging. I don't think these characters have been fully deleted, they have however had their names changed to the default <Race> Characer <ID>
.
Interestingly https://imageserver.eveonline.com/Character/2029709492_256.jpg does have an image for this (deleted?) character.
This now throws a 404 instead of 500 after today's downtime. These characters do not exist in the system anymore and therefore it is a 404.
As in completely gone, not just doomheimed?
Reason I ask is this hasn't happened to characters in the past, and these characters have killmail records, so it will be difficult to pull their name(s), even if its just <Racial> Character <ID>
and/or corporation history.
@cvweiss yes, it is odd and I have not really seen it before so I will look a bit more into why that is.
@ccp-zoetrope see https://github.com/esi/esi-issues/issues/936 for how you handled the same thing about 6 months ago.
@CarbonAlabel always nice to have people around that have a way better memory than me 😆
@ccp-zoetrope while you're re-looking into this, can you reopen the ticket please?
Reopening until I can find out why characters were flat out deleted.
@cvweiss seems this was a bug with the first round of gdpr deletions and these characters will be restored. Please throw in any character IDs you know of that throw 404's.
Does this ticket still need to be open?
I'd say yes since the characters listed above were once valid entities and are now no longer valid entities. Previous discussions were that the characters were flat out deleted, rather than having the character's name changed.
Rgr, talking to people about it now

The above URL has worked in the past, as I've fetched the name, security status, etc and have stored this information in my database.
