WoW Membership

Fable_Finder

How do I get a WoW membership?
How do I choose the month plan?
How do I choose whether or not it's automatically renewable?

I've been surfing the site and I can't find the answers to these questions.

I've already downloaded the game, by the way.

Log in click on your account. There will be an option that says, game time & subscription. Click on that and set it up.

1. First you'll need to have a copy of the game. I assume you've got one already.

Afterwards you can get WoW membership through Battle.net's account management (link by fodell54), or Battle.net's shop here:
  https://us.battle.net/shop/en/product/world-of-warcraft-subscription

Please note that these links are for USA. If you're playing on European or Asian servers you'll need go to same webpage for that region.



2. The choice is on webpage. You can't miss it.



3. Normally you don't, it's based on your payment method.

If you don't want auto-renewable subscription to renew, cancel it immediately after making it. Cancellation only affects whether the subscription renews or not, which means making an auto-renewable subscription and then cancelling it has the same effect as making a non-renewable subscription would have.

If you use game-time cards and don't want to run out of subscription time, you can add multiple game-time cards and their time will get used one after another. That way you can never run out of subscription as long as you remember to add next game-time card before the first one ends.

I can't find it. I clicked this (http://prntscr.com/dchld6), then clicked "Buy World of Warcraft". For one, that's only the one month version. That's the one I'm thinking about getting, but I'd like to know how to get the others. Second, it seems to imply I need to download it, but I've already downloaded it. So, I click "Buy Now". Again, it seems to imply I need to download it. Also, the dramatic price difference between normal WoW and the Complete Edition is confusing, and they aren't even very clear on what makes them different, to a non-adept WoW player.

I went to the link, clicked "Add or manage subscription", and an error occurred (http://prntscr.com/dchooz). I live in the USA, by the way.

Click the blue "World of Warcraft" -text on that.


Then click "Buy World of Warcraft".


Once you reach the point where you're asked whether you want normal World of Warcraft, or the complete collection, the difference is that normal version includes content for levels 1 to 100. Complete collection includes Legion expansion for the game, and content for levels 1 to 110.

You can choose to either buy normal edition for cheap now, but then you'll need to buy the expansion pack at 50$ if you want to continue further after reaching level 100. Or you can buy the more expensive complete collection now and get access all the way to level 110 immediately.


Don't worry about the notifications that the game needs to be downloaded. The system does not check whether you have WoW installed on your computer or not. It's not that wise. It gives the download notification to everyone.


You can't get other options than 1 month membership that comes with your first purchase during your first purchase. The other options are available when you buy additional membership after that.
