Here is the thread I created in the customer support forum: MoP: Remix - Character Locked - #2 by Darthwraith-blackhand
It was suggested to me to post on the Bug Report forum instead.
Summary:
I do not own the Dragonflight expansion. My character is lvl 62, I got disconnected while picking up the quest ‘The Burlap Grind’. After trying to reconnect I was met with the ‘Character Locked’ error message. I was able to log into the rest of my characters and even create a new timewalking character without any issue. It was advertised that I would not need Dragonflight in order to play Mist of Pandaria: Remix here: https://worldofwarcraft.blizzard.com/en-us/news/24092672/world-of-warcraft-remix-mists-of-pandaria-now-live
" AVAILABLE TO EVERYONE
No expansion purchase is needed, but a World of Warcraft Subscription or Game Time is required to begin this fast-paced adventure through Pandaria. This means that Classic players can also participate in a plethora of pandamonium by simply installing the modern (live) World of Warcraft client.
WoW Trial Accounts will also be able to experience this World of Warcraft Remix without a subscription or Game Time through level 20. Purchase a subscription or Game Time to continue beyond level 20. If you’re returning to World of Warcraft and don’t know where to start, don’t worry, we’ve got you covered."
I have a feeling that the reason my character is locked is because I do not own Dragonflight and am past lvl 60. Can I please get either a confirmation or refutation that this is the case, please and thank you!?
