Nostalrius Begins - Quality wow vanilla realm (1.12)

I just started playing yesterday on Nostalrius PVP and created an orc shaman by the name of Shineyo. I got to level 7 and logged out near Sen'jin Village. When I came to log in today, there were no characters on Nostalrius PVP. I'm sure that it's the correct server and the correct account. I've also tried to make another character by the name of Shineyo and it says that the name already exists, so the character must still exist. Is there any way you can help? Thanks!

Given what I've read, I'm assuming that you do have multiple accounts, on both servers? I know you said you're sure, but, please, very carefully, check each account, and each server at least once more. Characters don't usually just disappear--been here since the beginning, and every time, it turned out that the player just confused the server or account.
