"This character does not have access to this bank." Warband bank broken

As of today, I am not able to withdraw gold or items from my warband bank. I am given the message “This character does not have access to this bank.” I am on a trial account, but I had full access to the warband bank just yesterday.

I’m seeing this as well, however I’ve seen a few of my chars on different realms not on the same battle group still able to access… As aid to help debug, is this the case with you too?

All my characters are on the same realm. I did test at another bank (Stormwind) with another character and was able to access the warband bank. I was in Ironforge when I received the message. Maybe a bug with Winter’s Day.

Edit: Took the character who could use the SW bank to IF and getting the message again.

It stopped working for me as well… odd.

Was working for my level 20’s in the afternoon, but not after dinner. Is this being shut down for free to play just like mail and pet battles?

If this is the case, that’s really annoying and should have had some advance notice, was using it for non-current expansion storage of items on my regular account.

Same problem here, I used the bank yesterday to transfer some gold with no problem, but today I cant do it for some reason, any information about this?

I can’t withdraw nor deposit to my warbank anymore but at least the reagents I put in there are still accessible via crafting. I was mostly using my warbank to support crafters to support my F2P main.

Weird, I can’t even Take anything out of my bank at all. Warbank is the same on my F2P account. No access.

EDIT: A Hiccup I guess on my end, I can get stuff out of my bank but not Warbank. Pretty crappy if they cut off F2P players. It’s not like it does much, and I don’t, or really I can’t see it, being a Gold Seller issue. c’est la vie

Well, personal bank and reagent bank works fine, just the warband bank - I can move items within the bank but can’t withdraw or deposit items or gold. Yeah sad if they dropped f2p, well, i’m half and half - did buy TWW on one account but not the other.

I’m also having this issue. Was able to access WarBand bank earlier today, but none of my characters can access it now in any way.

Also, when trying to withdraw gold, I get the additional message “this character is not a banker” as well as the “this character does not have access to this bank” message.

Yeah, this is what upsets the most. Wish they made the policy from the get go if it really was decided to be a policy change else I would not have moved all my copper ore, savage leather, etc. onto the f2p.

Same problem here, I have 20k gold in there that I can’t get.

Submit bug reports ingame as well. They should at least have given some kind of notice if this was a change and not a bug. I feel like it’s probably a bug because it mainly affects paying players, as they have mains with large resources depositing into it.

No warband bank access for me, either portal or any banker. Can’t deposit or withdraw.

Big FU to the players, if this was intended change.

my fF2P account can’t deposit or withdrawal but can use mats in there for crafting. Main paid account can access ok. Hope its fixed in 14 days or my paid acc will not be paid again. I have just as much fun on F2P at level 20 then on my main account.

Speaking of mail for f2p, it sort of irks me that NPCs occasionally “send” mail to players and this gets thrown away too. Not to mention any GM mail get tossed too. I think these two categories of mail should still be passed because they’re kind of important…

Pet battles I understand.
