How does a WoW subscription work?

Overall, it’s a pretty simple system. You pay for a subscription and you get access to both games. If you want the latest content in the current game, you buy the expansion. All the other stuff like Appearance Changes, Character Transfers, and Faction Changes are sorted out via paid options on the Blizzard Store.

Can you play WoW with just a subscription?

With a single subscription you can access both World of Warcraft and World of Warcraft Classic.

Should I play WOW Classic or retail?

Go with Classic if you want that old school mmo experience, you like slower gameplay, and don’t mind a little roughness around the edges. The classic leveling experience is very long and is kind of the bulk of the game. Go with retail if you want faster, more polished gameplay that is much more streamlined.

How much does it cost to start playing wow?

The game now simply costs $15 a month to play and you get access to all available content by default. The Battle of Azeroth expansion arrives on August 14 and will cost $49.99 for the Standard Edition, $69.99 for the Digital Deluxe Edition, or $99.99 for the Collector’s Edition.
