So I havent played retail in about 11 years since I stopped playing it in 2011. However a few years ago i checked into my account, to see my characters, and everything was normal. However I think some are now missing, but unsure except my paladin is missing, and the ones that are there dropped levels, my main from 80 to 32. I know he wasnt 32 as when i played mounts were at lv 40, and im not sure if there was something that caused them to drop levels.
Also this is in the original, not classic wow, back in cataclysm

They did a level squish and made max level 60 so all character levels were adjusted.

With the Shadowlands expansion we did a level squish. More information can be found here:
Basically, your characters dropped in levels, but they are fundamentally the same in the grand scheme of the game.

When Shadowlands came out, we had a massive stat squish.
Your characters are still as strong as they were, pretty much, as everything was squished (including mobs, monsters, etc etc).

They did it by dividing your level in half and then subtracting.
120s, went to 50.
110s went to 45.
80s went to 30.
60s went to 20.
