Common Problems

  • How can I activate a WoW Token if my subscription already expired?
  • I bought a WoW Token from the Auction House but I cannot redeem it for Battle.net Balance
  • I bought a WoW Token for gold, it is in my character's inventory, but my game time run out and I cannot log in to use it

WoW Tokens purchased in Modern WoW cannot be used in Cataclysm Classic or vice-versa.

In Modern WoW and Cataclysm Classic, if your game time has expired, you can purchase a WoW Token for gold from the character select screen by clicking the Reactivate Now button. Each character on a single realm will contribute gold to the price of the Token. In addition, Cataclysm Classic WoW Tokens can only be redeemed for game-time, and not for Battle.net Balance.
