Collector Edition: No more in Europe

Hello everyone,
this is the story of a player like the other who loved this game from vanilla time.
Back at those days he was just a teenager and every week he saved money to pay 13 euros to play this bautiful game. For a long time, he could only look in the shops at the expensive collector edition thet he couldn’t afford.
Time passed and that boy become a man now with a family, he keeps playing even 10 minutes a day just to remember his youth but with a dream: collect all the collector edition he desperately wanted.
The first one was wow vanilla collector edition: a really long research and really expensive but I fount it and redeemed it’s code.
The second was the burning crusade: my favourite expansion of all time. I found it in perfect condition but I didn’t considerd a little problem: blizzard does no more support this collector. At first I believed it was a joke, I redeemed vanilla why TBC should be different?
Serching on forums I found a special way to redeem it sending the barcode at Blizzard Verailles office but also this is no more possible since now is permanently closed (saving money cutting services).
The last discovery has been the best: in US the TBC collector code it’s still reredeemable. You heared right: US playes have serives EU don’t. Why? because yes!
That’s the aswer I had from three Tickets I opened and GMs keep sayg they cound do nothing.
Frustration and discrimination, that’s what I felt, frustration beacause this is a game and if you want you can code everithing and we pay every month for this service.
discriminatin beacouse US money are woth more than ours and they can have that kind of service and all we can have is just a NO without explanation becouse there is no explanation, just a politic of receiving money and not giving services. We are not asking for something special, only to use a game code THEY sold.
If there is a sort of difficulty thay just have to call a programmer and make a chang at the game and if it’s too hard they can charge a GM to activate a code.

I’m sorry to bother you with my frustation but this community it’s the only thing it’s left of a game I loved betrayed by a company who want to make more money no matter what and this is not etical at all, especially if EU people are a B category for them.

I’m sorry also if my English is not perfect but there is no assistance in Italian, not even one in a multi million dollar company.

I hope for better days for this game and the entire frachise… love you all

I don’t understand why Blizzard doesn’t just sell collector edition upgrades in shop. I’d buy them… Currently have two (LK, TWW) but if other’s were available it would be great.

If you want the in game cosmetics I believe they are sold on the shop from time to time. Currently you can buy the MoP, WoD, SL and DF mounts and pets on the store. Legion and BFA ones also used to be available and might return later.

The story with TBC CE is that blizzard packed normal codes into collector’s editions by mistake. It only happened in EU region. While their office in france still operated, EU players could get either their account upgraded to TBC CE or at least pet + achievement.

But It’s closed now and they are unable to grant at least pet+achievement due to policy change. It’s all on blizzard and they decided to stop granting EU players their pet.

I bought at long last new, unopened CE boxes of TBC and WOTLK. Only WOTLK key worked, TBC one did not. And I’m not gonna get pet ever because of policy change.

Their france office was closed in like 2019 so I’m 6 years too late to be able to get my TBC CE pet. I contacted support and they no longer can grant achievement + TBC CE pet.

I’m greatly disappointed that after spending so much money in order to get physical TBC CE I’m unable to get my pet. Really frustrating. But it is what it is.
I doubt they’re going to change their policy ever again.

At least i have all CE boxes of every single WoW expansion. Excluding 2004 vanilla CE, it would be next to impossible to find it anywhere in new and unopened condition after so many years.
