On July 11th, amidst the eager anticipation of players, the Chinese version of "Wrath of the Lich King" of World of Warcraft was officially launched. At present, players can log in to the server of the "Wrath of the Lich King" version to play the game. At the same time, the official has also launched a 14 day free game time promotion. In addition, the Battle.net Mall service has also been launched. However, on that day, the online shopping mall on Battle.net collapsed.
According to the Sina Weibo account of World of Warcraft, the Chinese version of "Wrath of the Lich King" underwent a two-week soft boot from June 27th to July 10th. The development team continuously debugged and optimized the server to ensure that it was ready for restart. Before the game was officially launched on July 11th, the development team conducted maintenance on the server for about 12 hours. At present, the "Wrath of the Lich King" version server has been opened for players to recharge and play.
On the morning of July 11th, World of Warcraft also launched a free 14 day game time claim activity, and players can visit the official feature to claim it.
On that day, Battle.net Mall will also launch a series of related products for the "Wrath of the Lich King" version. This includes game duration recharge, gift packages, as well as services such as character transfer and renaming. Among them, the monthly, quarterly, semi annual, and annual card prices of the game are 75 yuan, 198 yuan, 360 yuan, and 720 yuan respectively, which are the same as before the shutdown in 2023. In addition, according to the content of WeChat official account, the game time of World of Warcraft purchased is not divided into different versions, and you can get all the game time for one purchase. At the same time, you don't need to recharge twice to play official services and nostalgic services.
However, according to the Sina Weibo account of World of Warcraft, the Battle.net Mall experienced difficulties in accessing and purchasing on the 11th, and the official immediately fixed the issue.
