Try closing down game, launcher, all of it, Geshmir.

Since you just reupped, I suspect this is an update issue.

I have been experiencing a similar issue to Geshmir. However, my problem is compounded by the fact that I don’t even have the option to install Classic. I have bought both game time and resubbed to the game; logged out and back in to the launcher, and even tried restarting my system. Nothing has worked, and I have no way of seeing Classic in my list of game versions. I can see Battle for Azeroth and my PTR client only.

Have you ensured that your Launcher is fully updated?

The current Standard launcher version is: 1.15.2.11378

The current Beta launcher version is: 1.15.2.11379

I have same issue as geshmir and janreilla i have closed launcer reolgged back in. And even restarted computer but wow classic still doesnt show up?

When you open up Version at the bottom, exactly what are you seeing?

it says version 8.2.0.31478. And when i goto account and region it doesnt show up. I have tried restarting app. I have even reubscribed again and nothing.

That’s the version of the game, not the launcher.
You want to look on the launcher, not on the game login page.

That is what it says on launcher where you choose the game. un less it is somehwhere else

I found this in settings is this it? 1.12.1.10252

We’re up to 1.15 for the app, I think, so try uninstalling and reinstalling the Battle.net app. That should get the latest version.

I have the same issue. I uninstalled and reinstalled the launcher. I clicked on the Wow button on upper left and got no option for WoW classic. I did update regular WoW.

I logged on with my WoW 2 account. I also have a F2P Wow 1 account and a test account.

I resubscribed but every time I click a button saying play now, it takes me to the subscription page. Do I have to make a new account just for Classic? I thought one account would play them both.

Please help

I am having the same exact problem as Desdes, every time click to play classic it just opens the screen to the subscription page even with having an active subscription.

Can you post a picture of the “subscription” page that it’s opening?

You can post links by clicking on the </> button above the post box, like so: https://imgur.com/

Same issue here. I resubscribed, I get the button to play classic, and then it wants me to subscribe even though I am logged in and active. I have the latest launcher and have restarted everything a couple of times.

Assuming the payment cleared, then you likely just need to give it time.

You need to click the “X” to close the Classic WoW offer. It will go away, then you have all the options needed to play, and download Classic WoW. I can’t believe Blizzard would do that, or maybe I can.

Oozie - I was just coming back to post the same thing. Waited about an hour and a half on support chat, and they helped me figure the same thing out. Basically, you X to close the advertisement so you can get to the play button with the options. Otherwise you are in and endless loop to ask you to subscribe.

By going to version, it let me select Classic, but the next screen (download screen) kept locking up until I selected to handpick each option, (English, location, etc), then all of the sudden it started downloading the game. Sorry I can’t be more specific, but now that it is loading, I can’t go back and look at the display.
