I can’t find Lightning’s Blade which is where most of my characters were located.
Where are they now?
In Retail? Are you logging in to Live: World of Warcraft? I ask because you are posting on a Classic character.
How long has you been gonw? At the start of this expansion, Blizzard changed the login screen so that all of your characters from all realms are shown in the list of characters, so you never need to select a specific server to see your alts.
