Blizzard entertainment has announced that players who haven't logged on to WoW cataclysm Gold since November 13, 2008 will see their names taken off of their characters which will allow anyone to create a brand new character, or to use the free change in character name service to change their names.
But you can avoid this from occurring by accessing WoW Cataclysm Classic with every name of the character you wish to remain intact before the patch 6.0.2 is released. The patch is accessible on the game's public test realm, which indicates that it will be available soon.
As Blizzard mentions in an article on its blog It's possible that nobody will ever claim your name. But, according to the company, "It is probably not worth the risk if wish to keep your name in good standing for the long term."
It's possible to think that this is an espionage tactic to Blizzard to get players to come back in WoW Cataclysm Classic (subscriber figures aren't that great at the moment, after all) It's actually about allowing returning and new players to pick from a wider range of names, according to the company.
"Our purpose with this fantastic name release is to ensure that both the new and returning players have a wide and diverse selection of names to select among," the company writes. "So join now to save the names of your characters that you have not used for your adventure intro Draenor."
Warlords of Draenor launches November 13 on PC. This is the fifth expansion after The Burning Crusade (2007), Wrath of the Lich King (2008) and Cataclysm (2010) as well as Mists of Pandaria (2012).
The expansion adds new zones and increases the cap on levels to 100. Additionally, it gives players the ability to instantly boost your character to 90 levels, which you can get right now, by pre-purchasing the expansion.
The basic version of Warlords of Draenor at a cost of $50, and the WoW Cataclysm Classic Gold for sale special edition of digital deluxe is available at $70. A collector's edition of $90 will also be available and you can learn more about it here.
