Can we please get a clear out of inactive names?

If the person’s account (not their characters) has been inactive for two expansions or four years
so you might have to wait

A blue confirmed in another thread that it’s even worse than this:
ANY activity in ANY Blizzard game resets the timer. You could log into Hearthstone once every three years and never touch WoW again, and all your names will still be there “ten” years from now.

EDIT: Oh and you can even just log into a <20 character, with no game time and still reset the timer.

Continuing the discussion from Seeking clarity on updated policy:

@Vrakthris

Every Game Master you spoke to doesn’t necessarily have the level of access I do, Finraziell. They’d primarily go off of what they have in the Support Article, and they appear to have been accurate in that regard.

For clarification, by “any license” I do mean any game license on the Battle.net account, not exclusive to WoW licenses. I am checking to make sure that I have that right and will update if that is not but as I understand it, the timer will refresh by logging into any WoW license you have on the Battle.net account as well as your Hearthstone license.

As I mentioned, this is something that could be updated at some point in the future as we want to be fair to all involved. This currently works within the limitations of the systems we have.
