As the national server agent released "NetEase's Important Announcement Regarding the Expiration of Operations of Blizzard Game Products" on the official website of World of Warcraft's national server (for details, please see the second article on the public account today), the news about the suspension of the national server of World of Warcraft has finally come to light. settled. After being sad, you have to return to rationality. Let me first tell you what you need to pay attention to when stopping the classic server of World of Warcraft.
Recharge in advance
According to relevant legal requirements, online game suspension requires an announcement at least two months in advance and the suspension of registration and recharge. The national server announcement also mentioned that Blizzard game products will be closed on November 23, which is next Wednesday, in Battle.net and the client. recharge service and user registration portal. Therefore, World of Warcraft players who want to play until January 23 next year must now pay attention to whether their remaining game time is enough. If not, they must recharge their monthly card before next Wednesday, otherwise they will have to be one step ahead of other players in the nostalgic Chinese server. The dilemma of "server suspension" is the same for other paid content on the Battle.net Mall.
Mall mount
Currently, the mounts and pets in the Battle.net Mall of Wrath of the Lich King Classic Server are exclusive to the national server. There is a possibility that they will be out of print after changing the national server agent in the future. Of course, there is also the possibility of discounts. Players who are interested in collecting can consider whether to buy them.
Characters and coins
According to the official announcement, after the game server is closed, all account data and character information in each game (including but not limited to characters, remaining game time, game props, materials, recharge information, etc.) game data will be sealed. NetEase will properly handle game data in accordance with the requirements of laws and regulations to protect the legitimate rights and interests of users. Therefore, please do not believe the rumors on the Internet that characters, items, and gold coins will be deleted when changing agents, and do not rush to sell the gold coins in your hands at a low price. There are still more than two months left before the server is stopped. No one can say how things will progress in these two months. Moreover, the game time of these two months will not be refunded anyway. It is better to keep a normal mentality and play the game without waiting for things to happen. After a turn of events, I will regret the wasted group CD and gold coins.
About refunds
According to the official announcement, NetEase will start arranging refunds for the online game virtual currency that players have recharged but not consumed in the game and the paid game time (if any) that has not expired after the Blizzard game products cease operations. For details, please Follow and bind the "Blizzard Game Service Center" official account. It is important to point out here that World of Warcraft gold coins do not belong to the online game virtual currency mentioned in the announcement. What can be refunded in World of Warcraft is only game time (time badges should be able to be converted into game time). The specific refund plan will have to wait for subsequent announcements.
Since World of Warcraft Classic has been open for more than three years, the editor has been insisting on daily updates to bring the latest information about the Classic to players. Please rest assured that the editor will still keep updating during the suspension of the national server. Even if you are not logged in to the game, you can still update it. We can learn about the new developments of the nostalgic server every day, and we are waiting for the re-opening of the national server.
