Make sure you are paging through all of the pages available on each server. There are three pages of characters available. Yours might be hiding somewhere off-screen.

Nope, I just went through everything, and I see nothing.
Petition in-game with a new character (Menu>Support, or type "/petition" in your chat bar followed by a short title, then hit enter. Both of these pop up the petition window.), or visit the Ask a Question page to get ahold of GMs out of game.

Thanks for the help, I just made a petition, in game, and a Ask a Question.
Hopefully it works out

So, I made my account about three years ago, and played for two months and got a level 30 character. Now, I reactivated my account with the City of heroes/City of Villans account, (as well as a trial account that I played around with, which is still active), and I cannot find my character on any of the servers. I have my two month veteran thing, so I have no idea whats going on. Any help at all with be very much appreciated.

What level was the character? I ask because they did a purge of all characters level 5 and below IF the character hadn't been logged in, in over 60 days.
First sentence he wrote. "...got a level 30 character."

Yep, he did, I missed that sentence. Never just skim posts and reply after a 13 hour shift. 
try removing the playerslot.txt file from your \City of Heroes\account_name\ directory
New issue.. never know if old bugs crop back up again.

When did this happen? Are you thinking of the times they made character names (level 5 and lower) on inactive accounts "available " for active users?

I know you said that you checked this but since you just reactivated your account, you might not have understood this new feature so I'm just gonna clarify in case it might help:
When you select a server, you see your first 12 character slots for that server, but there are more slots that are not immediately visible. Sometimes one or more characters get randomly thrown onto the second or third page and you have to select your server AND click through to the second or third page of slots to find the character.
About 50% of the time I get the side-eye for clarifying these things and about 50% of the time someone says "OMG thanks"
Good luck!

What? You really thought ONE of us wouldn't jump at that opening?
If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.

Actually, they didn't purge the character, just the names.
Yeah and it was actually 90 days inactive
and they didn't exactly purge the names they just flagged them as "available"
In other words... during the time when this policy was active, if your account had been inactive for 90 days and your character was below level six, you'd only lose your name IF someone else tried to create a new character with that name on the same server.
BTW thanks for the side-eye, Tex! It made me smile
