Greetings

I am an old city of heroes player and i havent played the game for the past 2-3 years. My heroes (one lvl 50 and others lower lvls...) where in the defiant and union servers. Today i downloaded city of heroes freedom and tried to log into the defiant server. Although i succeded i coudnt find my heroes there!!!! The slots where empty and kinda "locked". Whats is going on? Where are my heroes? Do i have to "transfer" them to a new server somehow?
