Join the Warcraft Welcome Back Weekend November 5–9 - Inactive Players Get Access to All Expansions

Shadowlands is nearly here, and you and your allies are needed back on the front lines. This weekend, we're giving all players with inactive World of Warcraft accounts full access to the game* and all of your characters without a subscription. You’ll be able to access all expansions including Battle for Azeroth, so you can play the most recent content and be ready for Shadowlands when it launches on November 24, 2020 at 00:01 CET. Rejoin your guild, rally your comrades, and prepare to brave the beyond.Return to World of Warcraft FREE from November 5 to November 9.**
Get Back in ActionIf you’re new to World of Warcraft or you’ve been away for a while, you can play through the new starting experience starting at level 1 to learn the ropes.Players who have already experienced Battle for Azeroth and reached level 50 on at least one character can choose to level any subsequent characters in a different expansion using Timewalking Campaigns. This new feature makes it so content from locations like Northrend or Pandaria scales to a player’s level, so they can adventure from level 10 all the way to 50 and experience the stories in these areas at their originally intended pacing. Visit Chromie near the embassies in Stormwind or Orgrimmar to select your expansion leveling experience. If you'd like to select a different expansion to level through, simply speak to Chromie again.

Comment by Paulnutzbring back the rep buff in that time frame too xDComment by AbsoluteRTDThat's pretty nice of Blizzard. I'll definitely be inviting my friends to give the game another go.Comment by Solartis29care to not break your recrut a friend condition like me.Comment by minka25Would be cool if they give it away as free days for active subs too... we are waiting for Shadowlands and prepatch since months... Most have a 6month sub from the dragon sale and "can't" use it... Cause 1month delayComment by avatarofshadowJust to l et you know, if you have multiple accounts on your license, this works for that, too.Comment by Frenkye315Why not the 10th when the prepatch event is out?

People are going to come back and literally nothing has changed except they have new talents and they are weaker.

Smart lol.Comment by Matrixwolfa full 3 days, thats a great deal to those who dont work weekends thats a $1.50 value since 30 days is $15Comment by GyrosparkWhy not the 10th when the prepatch event is out?

Smart lol.Comment by AcrivecPathethic.Comment by cheinii20 free mboxer accs should be able to grind up a token tbh

now's your chance to try it out people xdComment by LurkerxHi. Does this apply to new players too? I have a friend that wants to play the game but he's waiting for Shadowlands release to buy it, so this would be a good way to start.Comment by stormrage666How about those who signed 31th? what a .... <o>Comment by sirrileybearWhat about if you have more than one account? Be nice to get on the other account for a few days.Comment by MooseSoupYeah, come back.. just in time for the disaster. Maybe if youre lucky they will let you play a bit before nerfing you into the ground too after they see you as a paid member. Blizz treats their player base as Junkies who are addicted and they KNOW you are gonna stay and don't care about your input.. They want new players.. so come on all.. who wants some candy? Just a taste.Comment by DharkuulRemovedComment by couchpotato2013Is this restricted in time like a few of of the prior F2P weekends or is it completely free to go 1-50 and use all of the roughly 84 left until the event ends?Comment by tomovkaWhat if my sub expires tommorow? Will I also get two more days?Comment by FatPwnerRemovedComment by bogzyWhy not the 10th when the prepatch event is out?

Smart lol.Comment by NecroposNice! I've had some carpal tunnel acting up over the last couple months and still doubtful whether I'll even be able to play Shadowlands, so this will be a nice test run to see if I want to resub. Thanks Blizz!
