Reserve Your Name in WoW Classic on August 12 at 3:00 p.m. PDT

Rauros-trollbane · August 10, 2019, 4:43pm

Am I okay reserving a name on Monday with an active subscription, BUT I HAVE NOT upgraded to Battle for Azeroth? The latest version on the account is Legion. What say you? Thanks

Malochai-moon-guard · August 10, 2019, 4:51pm

I am thrilled!! I am such an alt junkie!

Krovax-windrunner · August 10, 2019, 9:32pm

So how exactly is this going to work…are they going to open up at 3:00 and crash the servers from everyone logging in and reserving names?

Krovax-windrunner · August 10, 2019, 9:33pm

I would say 75% + do

The last game I played with an NA server was fairly light with log ins until about 8pm est.

Not sure how many adults are sitting around in the early afternoon, but considering the hundreds of millions that makes up the workforce, I’d say not many.

Mickymoo-black-dragonflight · August 10, 2019, 10:56pm

I would assume total character creation.

In all versions of the game, that’s the only way we’ve been able to reserve a name.

And that’s worst case anyway.

Ready to rock and roll. Did a few speed run char builds.

Nidakasa-zangarmarsh · August 11, 2019, 2:50am

I have a eu account and a us account am I still limed to 3 names? also will I get two classics?

Laeric-wyrmrest-accord · August 11, 2019, 3:05am

I’m afraid I’m going to be unable to reserve my name because I work Monday from 4 EST to 8 EST. How long are the servers going to be up?

Acasha-area-52 · August 11, 2019, 9:31am

wasn’t it called thottbot back in the day

Chubsy-illidan · August 11, 2019, 12:57pm

I did this in classic and yes it works fine. Just snag the name and you can customize it later.

Mickymoo-black-dragonflight · August 11, 2019, 1:26pm

It is per account. So yes, you get two classics and two sets of 3x characters.

Mickymoo-black-dragonflight · August 11, 2019, 1:29pm

Unless blue posts a correction, I’m going to assume character creation will remain open for that week leading up to launch, as those are the actual servers they are launching with.

Laeric-wyrmrest-accord · August 11, 2019, 1:37pm

Well that would be helpful, for certain. Here’s hoping a Blue confirms or denies this theory.

Khorijin-the-scryers · August 11, 2019, 2:11pm

The title of this thread says Aug 12 @ 3pm PDT. Bornakk posted tomorrow at 6pm which works if we are talking EDT. So what time zone are we referencing here for tomorrow?

Malochai-moon-guard · August 11, 2019, 3:16pm

I have two accounts, one is not upgraded to BFA, I was able to make and play a test character on my second account, that only has up to Legion.

Alzrius-sisters-of-elune · August 11, 2019, 7:39pm

Will be August 12th 3 PM Pacific and 6 PM Eastern in the U.S.

Iseoden-kiljaeden · August 11, 2019, 8:01pm

A word to the wise: If you advertise the specific name you wish to reserve, at least one troll will make it their life’s mission to take it from you.

I hope Thex is a red herring.

Maynellus-kelthuzad · August 11, 2019, 8:14pm

They call me… ThexMex

Skeldeth-grizzly-hills · August 11, 2019, 9:55pm

How long is the name reservation period open?
