Those who want their money back for WoW: Shadowlands lose access to a character – at least if the boost was used.
Blizzard has informed all disappointed players of World of Warcraft that they can return Shadowlands without major complications. After all, the release of the next WoW expansion Shadowlands has been postponed. However, this may come with some restrictions. The purchased bonuses will disappear – and with them access to a possibly beloved character.
What happened? The developers of World of Warcraft have postponed the release of the expansion “Shadowlands”. Instead of the targeted date at the end of October, the release will now take place later this year. Blizzard has informed all buyers and pre-order customers about this and has simultaneously offered them a refund.
If desired, one can get the purchase price of Shadowlands back, but will also lose the associated bonuses – so far, so logical.
What is the problem? Among the bonuses for pre-orders was, depending on the purchased version, also a character boost to level 120. Those who redeemed this could elevate one of their characters directly to level 120. However, if this boost is now lost retroactively because Shadowlands was returned, then the respective character will be blocked. That character can no longer be logged in.
How can one play the character again? To regain access to the respective character, one must either buy a version of Shadowlands that includes the character boost or purchase a character boost separately. Afterwards, the boost must be re-applied to the respective character. This should unlock the character after a few seconds of waiting.
Those who did not use the boost will naturally not lose access to possible characters.
Sometimes, there is no need for a character at max level. Because even at level 20, one can defeat a player with level 120 …
