Save/Lock Account Data Global Strings Spotted Ahead of Imminent Realm Shutdown in China

Recommended Posts

The latest Patch 10.0.5 build adds the ability for players in China to save and lock their account data, ahead of the service shutdown in the region after January 23.

Blizzard is parting ways with NetEase in the China. As a result, World of Warcraft realms will be unavailable in the region after January 23.

Blizzard added new global strings in Patch 10.0.5 which suggest players in the region will be able to save and lock their account information ahead of the imminent shutdown. We do not know if saving data will be mandatory or what happens when a player doesn't save their account data.

The following new global strings have been added: 

  • ACCOUNT_SAVE_DESCRIPTION_UNLOCKED - |cffff2020World of Warcraft realms will be temporarily unavailable in this region after January 23rd, 2023.|r|n|n|cffffd200You can download your game progress (including characters and gear under your World of Warcraft accounts) now so that you may be able to restore it in the future.|r|n|n|cffffd200Saving your game progress locally will lock your account from play.

How sad is this. Imagine if you lost your 15+ year old account. I remember when they shut down Asheron’s Call server it was very sad but atleast they ate letting them save the data.

      Blizzard is updating animations of Covenant abilities in Patch 10.2.5 and renaming them so they're no longer themed after the Shadowlands Covenants. Our latest news post includes a video with all the new animations.

      Reddit user Bonelord911 tried to organize all specializations by their alignment to the cosmology chart and here's the result!
      There's just one slight inconsistency as ItisCaleb and Evonyte pointed out. Monks should be at Spirit, close to reality, since the Chi is a Spirit element according to the Chronicles.
