it wont let you buy a token on a "Starter" account? even if i have the gold and shit in the bank? thats stupid as hell old player coming back i dont wanna spend 15$ til im sure i wanna play lol

Ya that’s how they get you lol

Im pretty sure, if you have the gold on a character, you can buy a token off that character in order to play.

Correct
In the character selection screen, it should be like that
It used to be like this, would make no sense if they removed it lol

I wanted to do the same because I have like half mill on a toon. I can't even enter the character screen through from my account without first activating. It stops at the blizz client before I even have the ability to login.


I wnated to try playing classic, been off wow a since BofA

Most likely because you are running classic wow, and not the retail client
With the retail client, you can access all your characters up to level 20 i think it is
I have a few classic accounts, and i remember recently when one of them ran out of gametime, i experienced similar as you do now

I have never played classic, I just tried running it as retail. I'll look into it again and see if I can somehow figure it out, so far I haven't been able to. Thanks for the heads up

yeah... i know i have like 3 mil on my main and i cant activate it from the menu

Thats all very very weird
Try open a ticket, they usually dont mind helping out with things like these

Open a ticket and say you are a returning player and dont know if you want to come back unless you can see how it is. They in most circumstances give you a day or two of game time if you’ve been a long time customer.
