From Old To New

So i just started playing here at warmane about 2 weeks ago if even, and it wasn't until just yesterday i found out this is the new name for molten wow ran by the same people... I thought they disappeared off the face of the earth.. Is it even safe to play here?... Considering everything i lost on molten wow..
Also i see everyone running around in heirlooms ect, leveling up all fast and what not and i ask this one person how did he get it so many? He mentioned a starter pack they received, along with a whole bunch of vote points ect.. He also told me that they are not giving it out no more.. Now I am very upset to hear this due to the fact i have donated a lot on my old account on molten wow and i come here and had to struggle my way up.. It's not fair to the ones who had accounts lost and thought they were gone forever to not be rewarded.. I thought molten wow died, not changed its name and started running new servers...

..... b u m p?
