Returning Player Gold Missing!

I returned to play about 3 weeks ago from about 2012. Everything seems to be on my characters with some item changes that were made on the new expansions But a couple of Characters have less gold on them one had about 500k when i last played in 2012 and a other had about 300k. On returning they both have less than 20k!
Was there a change or devaluation in currency? in the expansion updates? Nothing seems to have been stole and my account was locked from inactivity since i last played.

If you’ve bought a WoW token with gold it could explain your missing gold?

I hadn’t bought anything since logging out since 2012…i have asked around if there was a change of any kind…no-one answers…they jaust laugh…i’m not particularly worried,just wondered why!

You could create a ticket here with as much info as possible:

But since it has been many years ago, it could be that they are unable to verify what happened with your gold. Usually a compromised account would get everything stripped down to the pants and nothing left behind from other forum experiences.

It was a long time ago,just though it was a change or something in currency.just looked into a Wow Token! never had them years ago,i could have bought some gametime with it if it was available!! thanks for the link i will try it!
