In the waiting room for Cata classics new phase, I was thinking I’d log onto retail WoW for a change. Haven’t been logged onto retail for a good while, and now it seems I can’t connect to my old retail EU account, the only choice I’m given in the launcher is to connect to US starter account. Why is this?
Edit: Everything else is EU, btw. Cata classic, Classic era etc. It’s just retail that seems to be US only. My launcher also tells me I’m EU region, so I’m not sure why retail is giving me US as only option.
Hi there Babastiltz,
As you have a subscription to access Classic you’ll definitely have access to the modern game as well and it’s just a matter of navigating the menus.
Just change the version setting to Live - World of Warcraft, and then the account name should be the exact same as you use for Classic. Keep in mind that it may be above or below what’s automatically selected and you may need to scroll to find it.
For some reason, this is fixed today. I no longer get thrown into the US starter edition when launching my client. Perhaps it was just some temporary hickup.
