My characters?

I just downloaded the client after being gone for a few years. I am not seeing my characters. Were they deleted?

on what realm were they? Deathwing/Ragnaros ?

Those 2 realms have been merged into "Icecrown" so in that case you have to send an email to [email protected] to know if it is possible to recover them ( or by opening a ticket on website if premium account)

Thank you, I sent them an email.
