Would you like to play World of Warcraft but don't know where to start? Would you like to know how to create an account, whether you need to pay money to play the game and if so, how much exactly? What can I do to get help from more experienced players? I will try to answer all these questions briefly and without going into unnecessary details.
Play World of Warcraft on official servers is free (but with significant restrictions), you only need to create a Battle.net account and attach a WoW account to it. You can play for an unlimited time, but you will only be able to level up to level 20, you will not be able to exchange items with other players and trade at the auction. In addition to the above, there are some other restrictions. For a full-fledged game, you need to buy several add-ons and pay a subscription fee. At the time of this writing, all the keys at once on the official website cost 857,649 rubles. The package includes a free month of play. The subscription fee is 299, 329 or 359 rubles per month, depending on how many months you pay at once. The author did not consider the prices for time cards.
If you decide to try to play, first of all, be patient. First you need to install the game client. You can probably find it on torrents, but it's easier to download it from battle.net after it's created account. Create a battle.net account. It is important to enter your real data, for the security of your account. All your manipulations with your WoW account (buying keys, subscription fee and much more) you will swipe through the battle.net account.
We are downloading the client, but while it is downloading, let's try to prepare as much as possible.
Action "Invite a Friend"
So, let's clear up one point first. If you are invited to play by a friend, you start playing with someone, or you would like to get the support of an experienced player from the very beginning, then most best solution will take advantage of the "Invite a Friend" promotion. As part of this promotion, you can link a new account to an existing one, get the opportunity to upgrade your character faster and some other temporary bonuses. Many experienced players offer their help in the form of tips, gold and even joint pumping to new players in exchange for the bonuses of this promotion. You only need to provide your e-mail to such a player, follow the link sent and register an account. Beware of fakes! The link should look like this: "https://eu.battle.net/account/activation/..."
If you start playing with one of your friends and both of you do not have an account created, this does not prevent you from finding a more experienced player, creating your own account using the link sent by him, and attaching the friend's account to yours. Then you can use both the bonuses of the attached account and the bonuses of the inviting party.
You can find offers from experienced players on the official forum of the game:
Look for topics like "I invite you for a joint download / pumping with x3"
Even if you have not yet decided whether you will pay for the game, it would be better to play it safe and provide yourself with a mentor;)

Recently, World of Warcraft players have been faced with the need to merge (attach) their WoW accounts to their battle.net account. This requirement put forward by Blizzard as part of the introduction of a single authorization for all game projects developed by the company, both already released and for future ones. It was possible to play WoW without merging accounts until November 12, 2009, and after that date it became impossible. Association mechanism World of Warcraft accounts from battle.net simple, as well as the sequence of actions.
Account of a true fan of Blizzard and World of Warcraft :)
First, we need to visit the battle.net site and, forgetting about wow for a while, follow the instructions to create a new account for ourselves. It is important to realize here that now your login will be the email that you specify during registration. It may be the same as that specified by you and in your account, or it may be different. The most important thing is that it be reliable, protected strong password and available only to you. For example, it is not recommended to use a work email, the email given to you by your ISP. After all, both the job and the provider can change, and along with their loss, access to this mailbox will also be lost. It's best to register new battle.net account to your mailbox of one of the well-known and reliable companies that provide free email services. For example Gmail, Yandex or Mail.ru Choose something to your taste from an existing mailbox, or register a new one.
Next, being the owner of the new battle.net account and logging in (previously, you will be sent a letter to the mailbox you specified to check its existence) we look for the button " Attach a World of Warcraft account"and enter the data: which region your account belongs to, wow account login and password (the button is located at the top, if you are asked for a game key, then you used the wrong link). If you play on Russian official servers and your account is European or Russian, then you need to choose Europe. Voila, nothing complicated. On the email to which the WoW account was registered, you will receive confirmation that the operation was successful in the future, in order to play wow you will need to enter the name of the battle.net account, which looks like an email and a password to it.
If you have merged multiple World of Warcraft accounts with one battle.net account, you will be prompted to choose which wow account you want to use on the login screen. The only nuance that surprised me is the ease with which the merge operation takes place. It is enough to know the login and password of an account in order to connect it to your battle.net account An attacker, for example, can do the same with accounts trusted by his friends. Now, for that to manage your wow account(for example, in order to change the password) we need to visit not http://www.wow-europe.com (or the site corresponding to your region) as before, but we need to go to the site http://eu.battle.net After a successful account merging procedure, you will receive a funny pet penguin via in-game mail. Also, it is worth mentioning that if you have several WoW accounts in one battle.net account, you can play two windows at the same time as before.
