What it is

World of Warcraft is an online game in which players take the roles of fantasy heroes exploring Azeroth. A subscription includes access to both World of Warcraft and WoW Classic; an active subscription or non-recurring game time also means WoW Classic does not need a separate purchase. The free trial covers World of Warcraft, but not WoW Classic. Characters above level 20 require a subscription or non-recurring game time, and upgrading also enables guilds, unrestricted in-game chat, and the Auction House. The game runs on Windows and macOS, requires broadband internet, and is installed and launched through the Battle.net desktop app. Subscription options are billed monthly, every three months, every six months, or every 12 months, and each can be canceled online anytime. No prices are listed for these options. Blizzard recommends an authenticator as an added account security measure. The company says it takes steps to protect personal information but cannot guarantee complete security for information it or its vendors handle.
