Do it yourself
Cancel World of Warcraft yourself
TLDR: Sign in to Battle.net and pause or cancel the subscription, which otherwise renews monthly or every three, six, or twelve months. Payments stop after that, and the time you already paid is generally not refunded.
Cancel the subscription
Blizzard bills the game time.
- 01Sign in to your Battle.net account.
- 02Pause or cancel the World of Warcraft subscription.
The support page says you can pause or cancel at any time. It can renew monthly, every three months, every six months, or every twelve months, until you cancel. The license says the card or Battle.net balance is charged until you cancel the subscription or the account. You can also write Blizzard through https://us.battle.net/support/en/.
Mail a notice
You want it on paper.
- 01Write that you are cancelling the subscription, and include the email on the Battle.net account.
- 02Mail it to Blizzard Entertainment, Inc., 1 Blizzard Way, Irvine, CA 92618, Attn: Law Department.
The license says notices from people in the United States go to that street. A paper request should still be followed by the cancel in the account so a renewal that is already processing does not go through.
How to know it worked
- Automatic payments stop once the subscription is cancelled.
- Blizzard’s support page says subscriptions are generally not refunded. You can ask them to review a charge.
Watch out for
- A price change can happen. The license says Blizzard can change prices at any time.
- The first time a card is used, the bank can show two lines for one order. The support page says one is a hold that the bank drops in 2 to 3 business days, and you pay once.
World of Warcraft refunds
- The license says Blizzard does not have to refund money you paid, except where the law requires it.
- The support page says a World of Warcraft subscription is generally not refunded, and points you to a refund review if you want them to look at a charge.
