I played WoW for about six months after it first came out and eventually gave up due to lack of end game fun for casual players.

I fancy giving it another go now that burning crusade is coming out but don't really want to start a new character from fresh, does anyone know what the policy towards closed accounts is? i'd like to pick up my old character again and start playing the lvl 60-70 stuff but i have a sneaking feeling that blizzard nuke characters after accounts have been closed for 6 months.

Any clues?
 
i would imagine its like most MMORPGS, your account and characters are still there, you just need to resubscribe to your account.

I know EVE and WoW have given a 6 month rule but not sure that they follow it.
 
Yeah Blizzard said that they would keep them a reasonable amount of time to let players return to the game, can't remember what the minimum was, but at the time they did specifically state that at that time they weren't expecting to have to resort to deleting account/character info in the future.

I had an email from Blizzard today with a big 'Reactivate Now' button on it saying my characters were there & did I want to come back for TBC.

I left after about 3 months iirc - so check your email, in any case they'll be available.
 
I'd be surprised if they ever nuked a high level character - I'm sure your toons will still be there when you reactivate your account.
 
i cant see blizzard deleting any accounts since the game was officially released. just re-subscripe on the account management.
 
are all the old servers still active, i was on warsong and it was the biggest steaming pile of garbage, constant queues and stupidly overpopulated, they never used to allow character moves but i seem to remember reading they may have relaxed that rule.

free char migration is open atm IIRC, hope that helps

*edit*
warsong chars can be moved to Daggerspine or Vek 'Nilash
 
I hadn't played for around 6 months yet just renewed 4 days ago and my chars are still fine completely intact.
 
Blizzard are so stupidly rich now I seriously doubt they'd ever delete characters/accounts :)

It cant take up that much space.
