Hobbit's Story - To Retail and Back Again

[fishr]

Hello People,

Last time I played here was in January 2014. More than 1 year now... I can't find any of my characters and I honestly don't even remember how many accounts I had.

Can someone summarize in a few lines without wasting much time what happened in this period?
Retail is an absolute mess and I thought I would give WOTLK a go and see what happens.
What do I do with the Coins?
Can you Buy Hairlooms?
I now see the name of the server is Warmane? What does this mean? Just a name-change or joined with other servers ?

Would really appreciate your brief reminder

Thanks
Fish

Oh and why is my account Regular now? When I used to be Premium? I can't Whisper till lvl 19?

**** hit the fan ->Data (characters) lost -> booster packs, free proffs etc were available for limited time started -> merge with Arena Tournament -> booster pack etc duration ended -> start of WIT -> Now
