Do I need to buy the latest expansion?

Simple question really.

Do I need to purchase the latest expansion in order to play any of the older versions of the game (Cata classic etc).

Or can I just continue on as is - add game time to my account (only dragonflight or whichever was the latest previous to the one just released (edit))

The base game is free, which includes all expansions from Burning Crusade up to Dragonflight. Adding game time afford you access to all aspects of the game except for the new expansion content. This includes the various versions of Classic and all Retail content prior to this expansion.

Note that you also have some access to the game without game time, but it is far more restricted.

You only need to purchase the War Within Expansion if you want to play the latest content from the War Within. If wanting to play Dragonflight, and already have a sub/game time, then you don’t need to purchase anything, but just stick with the subscription.

Just making this green because it is a perfect answer. Correct and simple :slight_smile:

You can play everything in WoW except The War Within expansion, with only game time.
