Blizzard says 'come back in, the water's lovely' to lapsed WoW players

, Blizzard is thinking about all those millions of lapsed WoW accounts. You know the kind. That guy in the office who once had a hardcore raiding obsession but says he's fine now, eyes darting side-to-side. Come back, says Blizzard, the water is lovely.

This weekend all players with inactive World of Warcraft accounts get full access to the game and their old characters without the usual subscription. They'll be able to access all expansions including Shadowlands, and play the Tempest Unleashed pre-launch content for Dragonflight .Alongside this there's a discount on the various character housekeeping options in the game, 30% off character transfers, and faction / race / name changes.

Perhaps the biggest pull will be the chance to experience Dragonflight's new starting zone, which our Fraser reckons is

Unless they are giving away the last two expansions as part of it, I'll pass. FF14 gives you all the old expansions when you get the newest.

The day Blizzard stops harassing it's employees and lets them unionize; I promise to pretend to think about coming back.

Tempting. But it's just a big time suck. The sub doesn't bother me, I actually saved a lot of gaming money because I didn't have time for anything else. But the hours long raids...and maybe you get something for it and maybe you don't. I just don't have time for it anymore 😭

it's a trap

Take away the monthly sub bs and I'll consider playing again.

they're probably inactive for a reason (the game is shit)

WoW: Dragonflight just made it absurdly easy to level a new character to 60The long road to max level in World of Warcraft has been cut in half weeks before the Dragonflight expansion drops. Lol ok I guess. Yes we made it easier to level. Please come back and give us money so we can continue to threaten and sexually harass our employees. Lawsuits are expensive! Doesn't that defeat the purpose of the level cap crunch? Why'd they bother dropping the level cap and making each level 'more meaningful' just to go and do this?
