Frequently Asked Questions
General Information

- Can you buy WoW tokens without game time?: Yes, if your Game Time has expired and you can’t access your characters, you can purchase and consume a WoW Token directly from the character select screen, as long as you have enough gold on one character or realm to cover the cost of the token.
- Why can’t I buy WoW Token?: The country of residence registered on your Battle.net account must belong to the same region as your World of Warcraft account, and the token may have temporarily been disabled in your region.
WoW Token Prices and Availability
- How many dollars is a WoW Token?: You can buy WoW tokens directly from Blizzard for $20 USD, $25 AUD, €20 EUR, £15 GBP, ¥75 CNY, ₩22,000 KRW, or NT$500 TWD, and the gold price for a token is the same for all realms in a region.

Using WoW Tokens
- Can you use a WoW Token on an inactive account?: Yes, if your Game Time has expired and you can’t access your characters, you can purchase and consume a WoW Token directly from the character select screen, as long as you have enough gold on one character or realm to cover the cost of the token.

- Why is the WoW Token price so low?: The WoW Token price may be low due to less gold entering the economy and more players coming back, resulting in lower income per-player and a drop in token value.
Troubleshooting
- Why can’t I sell my WoW Token?: Common problems include the Token purchase taking up to 24 hours to complete, and certain Auction House addons may cause problems with selling the WoW Token.
- Can you buy a WoW Token on a free account?: No, you need a subscription to buy a token, and you can’t use the Auction House on a trial membership.
- How to buy WoW without subscription?: You can buy 60 days of Game Time on the Shop using Battle.net Balance, but buying game time will not grant exclusive rewards like mounts.
Account and Token Management
- Can you permanently buy WoW?: No, WoW is an ongoing subscription service like Netflix, and you pay for each month you want to play.
- Do WoW Tokens expire?: No, Tokens do not expire, and they can’t be deleted, so there’s no need to fear accidentally trashing them.
- Does Blizzard delete inactive WoW accounts?: No, Blizzard doesn’t delete a WoW license simply because it is inactive, so your account is safe.
