Entire account yeah.
If they were playing on another character/realm etc, it’s still considered an active account for this.

As others have mentioned there is an Auction House in the Battle for Azeroth city hubs, if you’re an Engineer

That was true back in Legion as well, during that time the AH in Dalaran in the Broken Isles was just for Engineers, it’s a perk for being that profession, your own little robo buddy Auctioneer.
It was opened up to others when Battle for Azeroth released to make it a little easier for people still leveling up in that content.

Warlords of Draenor you could build an AH in your Garrison.
Mists of Pandaria the Shrines each had an AH again for Engineers only back then and later opened up to everyone.
Dalaran in Northrend too back in the day, during Wrath of the Lich King it was Engineer only, and opened up to others afterwards.

I don’t actually remember if there was one in Shattrath… it’s late and nearly my weekend though

There is a system in place that’ll free up names from inactive accounts, as long as they have been inactive for at least the past 2 expansions.

That would have last run at the release of Battle for Azeroth and freed up names on accounts inactive during Warlords of Draenor and Legion.

If the name wasn’t freed up then and is showing as unavailable, the earliest that would be freed up is with the release of Shadowlands, but only if the account currently using the name had been inactive for all of Legion and Battle for Azeroth.

In the past it used to be one giant bar, with the max just getting extended out with each update.
With the release of Battle for Azeroth, each expansion got it’s own skill bar, it’s own progress.

Classic goes to 300
Outland, Northrend, Catalcysm, Pandaria each go up to 75
Draenor and Legion each go up to 100
Kul Tiras or Zandalar depending on your faction goes up to 175 now since the Rise of Azshara update.

This makes catching up to current tiers as you put it a lot easier, you go to the trainer for the expansion you’re in, and you can get started without having to go up through all the old content, some of which may be very hard to come by materials for now.

You can certainly go to the older ones, if you have a gathering profession to match your crafting then you can collect the mats you need yourself and collect all the things

World trees in Azeroth don’t have a great track history really do they…

• Nordrassil being the original tree at the top of Mount Hyjal, but damaged during Archimondes assault there during the Battle of Mount Hyjal.
• Vordrassil, or what remains of it in Grizzly Hills after being corrupted by Yogg-Saron and then taken over by the furbolg.
• Shaladrassil in Val’sharah, twisted by the Emerald Nightmare.
• Then there’s Teldrassil…

So a future home needs to be:

1. Not on top of ancient power fonts like the Well of Eternity,
2. Not near any Old Gods prisons,
3. Not used as a prison for a bunch of Satyr and left guarded by people connected to the Emerald Dream and susceptible to corruption,
4. Non Flammable.

So maybe not another big tree

Just a suggestion

I love it.

Economics class. Man am I bad at managing my gold…

On topic I actually don’t know, maybe druid would be my least played class, mainly as I played a bit of everything else before trying druid.
Even then I still got one to max back in Legion, haven’t spent much time on it in Battle for Azeroth though to be honest.

Reading the replies here some of them really could have been me at different points in my time playing WoW though, what I want to play at any given time depends on mood and what I want to do etc.

Fair question
Can’t speak for the others as we all have our own habits, but I post in other places than just General.
This Blue Tracker has kept up with me mostly, the change over from old Forums to the current ones here was a bit tricky so I don’t think it’s captured everything:

I keep coming back to this thread as I find it kind of therapeutic, plus you know, cow gifs and pics are awesome

Hmmm
Human in Classic times.

Yeah that’s a given, since I already know how things are going to work out.
The people of Stormwind would throw me in the Stockades for sounding like a lunatic!

Seeing as I’d have no powers though, no abilities besides what I can actually do in real life… some of the random stuff that’s come into my head while reading this thread:

I’d find a pin and go stab Katrana Prestor in the tush to see if she turns into a dragon.

Or I’d become some kind of Nostradamus type figure writing prophesies of the future.

Maybe play the Auction House a little if I can find some way to earn some silver (picking flowers as others suggested seems a good start)

Befriend a Mage and see if we can work out some way to get in touch with Rhonin and Khadgar (without collecting several thousand of some random thing he wants)

Tell Bolvar never to go to Northrend, ow and let him know where Varian is.

Go sightseeing… I’m in Azeroth, I’d tour the city, “borrow” a horse, see Elywnn Forest and Westfall for real.

Try to figure out what my natural aggro range is against some very very low level, possibly already wounded creature or NPC.

Picking up a profession you previously abandoned won’t bring back recipes or skill levels, you would be starting again from scratch and have to level up each expansions skill and recipes list again.

There is one exception for this, as Legion recipes for the most part were part of the quest chains and given as rewards, you can’t repeat those quests.
So there are items for each profession in Legion that will give you back the quest reward recipes.
For Blacksmithing that would be Forgotten Plans of the Broken Isles

That will only give you a way to get back Legion recipes that were quest rewards for quest you’ve already completed on this character though.
Higher ranks from world quests etc would not come back and you’d need to recollect those after relearning the Rank1 version.

For any other expansions recipes, you’d want to visit the trainers, discover from crafting, hunt for drops etc just like you did the first time around to collect those again.

Hope this helps

I can certainly understand the frustration with this one with how long it’s gone on.
We appreciate all the reports and updates, topics like this as well as the bug reports and tickets sent in too. These are all something that the team use to measure impact of a bug or game issue.

Some issues are not hotfixable and require a Patch to resolve them though.
This one is definitely on the WoW teams radar and something they are working to fix as soon as they can.

I’m still hoping to get the leather shoulders… maybe next time I clear Karazhan

Get asked that a couple times alright, the Forum Ambassadors, so me and some of the other Blues who’ve popped up in here too:

Just chillin’

Good weekend everyone

I saw the title, and I saw your name, and I got to admit I didn’t want to read it
You’ve been an inspiration, and I’m so glad I got the chance to pick your brain a couple times and just chat too.
You will be missed on here that’s for sure.

Wishing you the very best on where ever your adventures may lead you

Does disenchanting all your plate helmets counts as already mentally being in the Shadowlands?
Asking for a friend…

Just to add some Blue to this, we have seen an issue that causes Outlaw Rogues to be teleported to another part of the Firelands after using Killing Spree during the Ragnaros fight of the Anniversary Event.
It’s something the WoW Team are looking into and working on a fix for, in the meantime another spec or simply not using Killing Spree in that encounter should let you finish it off.

Sorry for any hassle there, will try update again with any news but keep an eye on the Hotfix posts too incase it’s posted there before I get a chance to share it:

“Dolly and Dot are my best friends. They pull my wagon through dunes of sand! They have small teeth and they love to eat!”
