If your WoW subscription expires, do you go back to Starter Edition?
Posted On: April 3, 2024

I've currently got a WoW account that's in "Starter Edition" (or whatever it is they call the free neverending trial, that seems to be the name they use).


I'd like to know what happens if I subscribe and then let my subscription lapse - Can I continue playing with any sub-level-20 characters?


I did do some research, and came across this form the Blizzard FAQ:.


"Please note that if a World of Warcraft trial account was previously upgraded to a paid account, it will not revert back to a trial account, even if the paid time is expired.".


However, that FAQ page has some other information about Starter Edition accounts that from my experiences is completely wrong, and that portion is the only section that says "trial account" instead of "Starter Edition", so I'm not sure if its up to date.


Is there anyone who knows for sure?


Question from user William Lawn Stewart at gaming.stackexchange.com.


Answer:

No.


Once you account status goes to "Frozen" (expired) you can't go pass the main menu so it doesn't matter if you are under lvl 20 when you cant select that particular character.


What you can do is have 2 WoW accounts (not Battle.net accounts), one is "frozen" and the other is "starter", you will need to create new characters but its purpose is to check updates and chat with people. When you subscribe (unfreeze your main account) the other one will remain "starter".


Now what I don't know is how to add more wow accounts. I have 7 of them name WOW1, WOW2. The problem is I was adding them when it was 10day trial and you had button in Battle.net account "add 10d trial" any you could click it anytime. Try to find something like that.


You could also register another WoW account with different username and pass and then merge use the merge option on your main account. .
