Kate, we have to go back!

If you have a dormant World of Warcraft account, best give it a check: Redditors are reporting that their accounts are currently activated without subbing.

While some gamers are expecting it’s a bug that’ll soon be fixed, it’s also possible that Blizzard’s simply reactivating old accounts in conjunction with summer sale hoopla and summer vacation, all in prep for the expansion launch later this season. Given that WoWhead noticed old accounts have apparently been bequeathed Warlords of Draenor too, that might be a more likely scenario.

Chime in if you’ve found your account alive for no reason – mine has been off a few years and isn’t blessed today, apparently.

Why am I able to login to my one 110 without a sub? Blizzard, I think you have a bug. from wow

Aaaaaand it’s official.

“Battle for Azeroth fast approaches and you’re needed back on the front lines. This weekend only, we’re upgrading all inactive WoW accounts to allow you full access to the game and all your characters without a subscription. Rejoin your guild, rally your comrades and get back in the fight.”

Running through June 24th. Have fun!
