WoW account deletion?

AuroraBorealis

Hey,

I've been told that if you don't play WoW for 6 months, they can delete your account or characters. I'm not sure if this is true. I have re-read the terms of service and couldn't find anything that points to it being true but I'd still like to know as I have a few higher level characters. It would be a waste and a shame if they got deleted.

Anyone know if it's true or not?

Your account won't get deleted don't worry It'll just stay frozen if you decide to come back.

They dont appear on the armory after a while but they are still there

Yup, pretty much what the others have said.

I recently reactivated my US account and it was inactive since 2007, it was just as how I had left it.

Give whoever told you that a smack on the back of the head and tell them to stop spreading lies.

Blizzard responded to this on the official forums before. What they said was they had the option to delete accounts after 6 months of inactivity, but to date they have not deleted any.

They said they would send a mail to the registered e-mail address advising you if they were planning on deleting your account.

I think this was being considered before WoW grew, back in vanilla. There's really no reason for them to delete accounts now, seeing as their server farms are so big.

I stopped playing for over a year and a half, and everything was exactly how i left it when i came back.
