WoW China Shutdown: Players can download account data – World of Warcraft

World of Warcraft’s days are numbered in China. Ago Negotiations between Blizzard and NetEase It didn’t work out, Blizzard had to decide to publish the system that allows Chinese players to download data from their WoW account, characters and embedded equipment.

It’s a real disaster that the Chinese World of Warcraft community is about to experience. After January 23rd, NetEase will shut down the servers and many Blizzard games will become unavailable.

For WoW, Blizzard offers possibility Download account data to reuse them later for recovery, once the studio finds a new partner. Players can save data locally on their computers. You will have to be especially careful not to lose the precious file, otherwise you will have to start from scratch.

Needless to say, the maneuver is risky. Some rumors are already reporting archives that cannot be downloaded or are for sale on the Internet. Also, once an account is banned, players can no longer log in. We must therefore abandon the idea of ​​participating in the events that are sure to take place in Orgrimmar or Stormwind during the last hours of the game’s life in China.

Let’s hope Blizzard finds a partner quickly so that Chinese gamers can once again fully enjoy the MMORPG, especially since Dragonflight is still such a great expansion.

At the bottom of the screen you will find the possibility to download the data published by Peter Yu on Twitter. By the way, I have translated the information into French for you.
