Rockstar working on a fix for lost GTA Online characters
Rockstar says it's working on a fix for an issue that has resulted in some players losing their GTA Online characters.
A substantial number of players have reported that characters they spent time developing have inexplicably vanished, forcing them to restart the game from the beginning. Some users have also lost items, apartments, cars and in-game money.
"We have received reports from some players who experienced losing characters, progress, items, and/or in-game cash during the first few days after release," Rockstar said in a statement posted its online support page.
"We are working diligently to identify and correct the causes for these losses, as well as to establish how best to restore any lost progress and value. If you would like to receive an automatic email notification as soon as there is more information about this, please log into the Support Site."
Other known issues currently being investigated include:
General network/cloud server issues
"Rockstar Cloud Servers Unavailable" error message
"Failed to Host a GTA Online Session" error messages
Errors saying "Timed out when matchmaking for a compatible GTA Online Session to join"
Errors about jobs failing to start or load
Misc. network and server-related error messages, disconnections, or cloud server errors
Errors saying "Mission Failed" as soon as the mission begins during a session
Long matchmaking load screens, eventually timing out after 10-15 minutes
Offline (disc-based) and online content mixing on the Jobs list
Ending up in a free-roam session with no jobs/markers on the map while playing as a temporary character during a cloud outage
Retail monitor Chart-Track said today that UK GTA 5 sales have surpassed those of the game's predecessor, 2008's GTA 4, in just three weeks.

I'm going to point this out; if you still have your character, exit by leaving GTA Online on the main menu. It'll trigger a save, and will keep your character.

Lia Hopefully I can get my other character back. I had to start over because I lost my first character I made.
That's what I was hoping for a while but I gave up

BSOD I haven't even had time to play much, don't even know whether my character has been deleted. Last time I checked I was level 2.
Did you not even finish the tutorial? I thought when you finished the tut you were level 3/4 depending on how well you did
