Reactivated an account tied to my Battle.net account and I can’t seem to find the chars I am looking for. Is there a way - other than logging in to every realm to find a list? I suppose I’ve been playing since Vanilla I might have name changed / realm transferred or even moved them to my main account and forgotten. I tried checking transaction history but that doesn’t actually show what char’s you adjusted.
Post as much info as you can remember about the character names, realms, classes, etc.
One of the forum Support Forum Assistants will likely try to research them for you on an as-time-permits basis.
Do not post specific login credentials, like email addresses or account info.

If you didn’t remove the World of Warcraft client from your system since the last time you played it is possible there are files that could help you locate your characters.
If you open your World of Warcraft folder go to _retail_ > WTF > Account.
There you’ll see all WoW licenses that have been logged into that computer. It should list them either by name (if you have a WoW license pre-2009) or it should be a number like 5321412#1, #2, #3, etc… That translates to WoW#1, WoW#2, WoW#3, etc… when looking at your game client.
Click on the WoW folder and you should see more folders for any Realm you may have logged into, such as Illidan, Thrall, Turalyon, etc… just open that and you’ll see a folder for every character that you logged into for that realm.

It would help to have a few character names/realms with the approximate level, race and class, but I can list some of the realms you should be able to check.
You have two older WoW licenses on this Battle.net. The first, which starts with an S has characters on:
Area 52, Bloodscalp, Doomhammer, Dragonblight, Greymane, Hyjal, Illidan, Muradin, Nordrassil, Stonemaul, and Wildhammer.
The other WoW license starting with A only has any characters with levels on Muradin, though they are mostly pretty low level.
You also have an EU WoW license with a number of characters on it, I can list those but I’m going to assume for now this is for an account in the NA region.

Thank you for the help, the account with the A is the one I’m looking for. Thing is I know there were chars there of a few classes which I just can’t seem to find. I’ll keep looking I guess. I found an old guild via WoW Progress that I’m going to run through and see what I can find.
Pulled a full list of chars on the account and looked at everything I could find… theres a story behind this but not one most people need to know. 
There was / should be a second priest somewhere… can’t find it. I can excuse away probably every missing char as renaming / transferring over the years but from everything I can see there is only one US Priest. No chance any of the transaction history in battle net has the actual information as to what was done?
