Welp I know what happened now
" As for Elysium, Anathema, and Darrowshire; they will all 3 be merged into one server named Stratholme PvP. All the progress of your characters on these realms will be saved. Name priority will be as follows: Anathema > Elysium > Darrowshire. Stratholme will be running on 1.12.1 indefinitely, and will not reset or shut down. At some point will be able to progress to TBC. "
This really sucks. I started on Darrowshire because it was a PVE server. But now it looks like they're gone. Guess I'll just suck it up and wait however long it takes for WoW Classic to launch.
