When people ask when I started playing I feel as if I fluctuate wildly with my answers, would it be possible to get an exact date? Is it anywhere inside settings? I’ve had a look and can’t see anything. Thanks if anyone can help!
Bonus question, I still haven’t done the new mega dungeon, would anyone like to do it tomorrow with me around 12pm-1pm game time? I’m healer.
Exact date not guaranteed.
For people who joined in the Achievements era, it will be soon before the oldest achievement of your oldest character(s).
For those who played before, check out your Account section on this site. It will have details of your payments going back to your first on the account. I’m not sure it correctly captures all game cards if you used them, but worth checking.
Well, you could go through your bnet payment history/emails if you’re not from 2004.
What did you do when you first started playing? Maybe we can figure out the patch.
I remember that BC wasn’t released, however when you launched the game, it had the dark portal behind the password screen? If you know what I mean.
You’d have to request a copy of your data
Thanks mate, sent one in.
I see your name on these forums a lot lol.
Sadly they removed that a while ago. They still have transactions, but they’re all shop purchases not subscription dates.
Problem solved guys. I started playing 6th January 2007. Guess I’m a relatively older player.
It doesn’t. I created my account on launch and it only goes back to as late as 2010, which is still 5 years off.
How did you solve it?
I’d like to find my starting date too and write it down somewhere this time 
With Punyelf’s suggestion a few comments up.
If I remember correctly, i started same day as ICC patch was released
Ah, I never read green posts 
so thank you.
That does seem an awful faff to do. Will think about it.
I don’t know my exact date,but it was before the “Storms of Azeroth (1.10)” but after Ahn-Quiraj(1.09). So if you know the next patch,you might be able to get a reasonable interval.
Honestly, it took me 2 minutes, then today (the next day) I spent another 2 minutes after receiving the email to get the answer.
Ok, I’m giving it a go too. Have to admit it wasn’t as complicated as it sounded
Just as a note of caution I’d recommend not sharing your account creation date publicly, as this information is sometimes used for account verification purposes.
Just on it’s own it wouldn’t put your account at risk or anything, but any non-public details about your account could potentially be used by would-be attackers, so better to keep it safe.
Not that id ever do anything shady but whats your dogs name, your date of birth and mothers maiden name?
