It falls to you to crush the Iron Horde before the Dark Portal is completed and the invasion begins. Travel to the Draenor of the past: a world of giants and monsters, a world the fearsome and legendary orc chieftains call home. Face the dangers of this untamable world and bring down the Iron Horde—before both the past and the future are lost forever.

Warlords of Draenor launches worldwide this fall, and you can prepare for the coming invasion now by immediately* boosting a character to level 90 with your pre-purchase of the expansion digitally.

To stop Garrosh’s engines of conquest, you’ll need to recruit allies to your cause and construct a mighty Garrison; explore all-new zones, dungeons, raids, and scenarios across Draenor for resources to aid in your quest; and achieve new heights of power on the way to the new level cap of 100.

Interested in boosting more than one character to level 90 right away? In addition to the boost you get with your Warlords of Draenor pre-purchase, you also have the option of buying additional character boosts directly through the Shop in-game.

Warlords of Draenor is available for pre-purchase digitally in standard and Digital Deluxe editions. The Digital Deluxe Edition comes with a cache of in-game goodies for your favorite Blizzard games, including a Dread Raven mount and Dread Hatchling pet to accompany you in World of Warcraft, Grommash Hellscream and Blackhand Battle.net portraits to intimidate your foes with in StarCraft II, and a battle-torn Warsong Pennant to fuel your demon-slaying rage in Diablo III. What’s more, like the instant character boost, these will be available to you immediately upon your pre-purchase of the expansion.*

Warlords of Draenor will also be available as a retail-exclusive Collector’s Edition (in limited quantities), which comes with the in-game extras from the Digital Deluxe Edition along with an array of awesome artifacts from the physical realm, including a hardcover art book, behind-the-scenes Blu-ray/DVD set, Warlords of Draenor mouse pad, and CD soundtrack featuring epic music from the expansion. Check with your local retailer for pre-ordering details. We’ll have more specifics to share on the Collector’s Edition closer to the game’s launch.

For more information on this fall’s launch of Warlords of Draenor, check out the official press release and the Warlords of Draenor web page.

Level 90 Boosts Now Available
You are now able to purchase Level 90 Boosts for $60 in game! Your boosted character gets:

  • Item level 483 gear. You can quickly upgrade to the epic item level 496 gear from Timeless Isle chests.
  • 150 gold
  • 4 Embersilk (22-slot) bags
  • A stack of 20 food items
  • If a boosted character was already level 60 or above, their existing Primary Professions and First Aid are bumped up to level 600, as mentioned above
  • A faction-specific flying mount - a traditional Wind Rider for Horde or Gryphon for Alliance
  • Artisan flying - that’s one rank below max flight speed
  • Northrend, Kalimdor/Eastern Kingdoms, and Pandaria regional flying skills trained





Digital Deluxe - Dread Raven Mount and Pet
The Reins of the Dread Raven is the Digital Deluxe edition mount that goes with the Dread Hatchling Digital Deluxe edition pet.



Pre-Order and Boost FAQ

When you pre-purchase the expansion* or purchase a standalone character boost from within the game, a Character Boost token will appear on the character-select screen in World of Warcraft. Once you purchase it through either method, you can click the token to apply your boost at any time—no need to use it right away if you’re not ready. Keep in mind that character boosts are irreversible, so it’s a good idea to make sure you’re boosting the character you really want to.

If you boost a level-60 or higher character, you’ll also get an extra bonus: both of your Primary Professions will be bumped up to 600, so you’ll be an instant pro at your chosen callings. If you’re boosting an existing character and want to change professions, just make sure you train the professions you want before you apply the boost. Also, if you’re not quite level 60 yet (but thiiiiiiis close), you might want to consider holding on to your boost token until you earn those last couple of levels—your boost will still be waiting for you when you’re ready.

Check out the Character Boost web page, watch our video guide, or read the support article for lots more information.

Q: Can I apply my character boost to any character on any World of Warcraft account?
That depends! If you pre-purchase the expansion, the Character Boost token will only appear when you’re logged in to the WoW account you upgraded to Warlords of Draenor. If you purchase a standalone character boost, you’ll be able to use it on any eligible World of Warcraft account on your Battle.net account.
Note that if you’re upgrading to Warlords of Draenor directly from the World of Warcraft Starter Edition, it may take up to 72 hours for you to receive your character boost.

Q: When will I receive my in-game goodies if I pre-purchase the Digital Deluxe Edition?
If you pre-purchase the Digital Deluxe Edition, you’ll receive the World of Warcraft pet and mount right away, along with the in-game bonuses for StarCraft II and Diablo III.

Q: Can I get a character boost immediately if I decide to pre-order a physical standard or Collector’s Edition from a retailer?
Players who purchase either the physical standard edition or physical Collector’s Edition from a retail store will get their character boost when they receive their copies at the launch of the expansion.

If you’d like to receive your character boost immediately*, several options are currently available:

  • Pre-purchase the expansion digitally through the Battle.net Shop.
  • Pre-purchase the Digital Standard Edition or Digital Deluxe Edition from GameStop in the U.S. or (coming soon) EB Games in Canada (paid in full at the time of pre-purchase). You’ll receive a code redeemable on Battle.net that will unlock your level-90 boost immediately* and also unlock a copy of the expansion pack when it releases.
  • Select retailers in the U.S. are also now selling Battle.net Balance gift cards. You can use these to charge up your Battle.net Balance to pre-purchase a digital copy of the game through the Battle.net Shop and unlock your level-90 boost immediately (sales tax may apply).

*Players upgrading to Warlords of Draenor from World of Warcraft Starter Edition must wait until trial restrictions are removed before character boost becomes available (may take up to 72 hours).

    Yes but knowing what a storm saying "December" will be to players they are still prepared to say it MAY be that late. If they are saying that - knowing how many will complain (and knowing that some WILL quit knowing its that late - totally ruining their 200k increase in subs) - they must think its a good chance of being that late. If it is - they will suffer in subs I think thats clear.

    Yes - but you don't announce the possibility of a storm - unless you think its likely to happen. Its rather bad marketting. It is a little like saying "Buy our wonderful game... we think its probably going to be rather good - but it may suck badly". You would never ADMIT to the latter. You also wouldn't admit to it maybe being really late unless you thought it likely was (knowing how people will react).

    I sincerely hope for the sake of WoW that they release it sooner.
    It wont "kill" wow - whenever they release it. They WILL lose subs though if they release it in December. Sure some may go to other games - but those never usually last long as most other games just dont do well tbh. There are likely to be many that leave however - even if they DONT find another game to suit them.

    Yes, but if you wanted another boost to 90 and went with the "buy another game".... you would have to buy:

    Battlechest
    MOP
    WoD
    Character Transfer (to your other account - unless you wanted to pay a monthly sub for the new character)

    the 60 boost is still rather cheaper than buying a new account to get it and then paying for a transfer.

    Well...... the more people pre-purchase - the more developers they will get involved on their little "sideline" called WoD. More people pre-purchase and the release date gets put forward :P

    That fact that they are preparing us for the possibility means that they think it could well be that late. They are of course hoping it will be earlier - but they have been hoping since BC to release expansions yearly.... and then get them out faster... and then MOP wont last as long as others.... and then ICC was too long - we won't do that again etc etc etc etc.

    "as early into fall as possible" to me, knowing how Blizzard is means early December. They're never early, it's always a delay. They have that reputation going for them. See D3 and "soon".

    December 20th? Seriously?
    Not to mention that they said they will not put in a "filler raid" in MOP because that would slow down WoD..... Wonder if they will rethink that once people start unsubbing.

    Fall release for expac? Jeezus, what happened to June. That's an awful long time to wait without another content patch.

    Estimated release date 20 December (yes MAYBE sooner but beta hasnt even started yet and beta takes months)

    Oh come on, this expansion was a pile of garbage since they announced it at Blizzcon. Barely any really exciting new feautures, no new races or classes, story that makes no fucking sense whatsover thats just trying to milk the succes of Warcraft III. Oh wait, new models, whoop-dee-fucking-doo.

    But on the bright side, we might be finally breaking the ICC season record with SoO? /facepalm.
    IF it actually does release in December then it will be 14 months of SoO... what was ICCs lifespan?

    Why bother using the level boost now? By the time the expansion is released you can level that toon and probably several more.

    The problem with your and a lot of people's thinking process is that you all assume everyone WANTS a boost and is actively looking forward to/needing one.

    It isn't the case.

    I'd say start tooting the 'we get less content this expac!' horn when Beta rolls around. I'm not one of those who is going to say 'shut up till release date', but at LEAST wait till beta to start spouting off 'Less content, more price!'.

    Actions speaks louder than words!!
    Want Blizz to really "hear" you?
    Just grow a backbone and UNSUBSCRIBE!
    I did it for the first time in 4 years, and you know what?
    You will miss it and your friends a lot in the first 2 weeks, but after that you'll feel great about yourself.
    Early / late fall release is a mockery to all of us WoW loyal players, there's a time in which you need to decide that enough is enough!

    I'd remembered hearing just under a year(by a day or two), but that may be counting the 'holdover' raid...then again, that doesn't count imo(it never did 'hold over', maybe if it had added a sliiiightly longer raid or some non-raid content...) If it releases September, then yes, it will be on par.

    The first is very aggrevating.
    The latter is very worrying. Your latest date set is December. You seriously expect that it -could- take that long? If you can't give a reliable date, don't give one at all.
    I think they are required to give "a date" in order to accept pre-orders.

    Indeed... it may well not release that late - but just saying it COULD do has put the nail in the coffin of several subs. It's not going to kill wow - but there goes their 200k increase in subs they were so proud of.

    Internal testing means very little..... sure it helps, but it's not till the game is in the hands of hundreds of thousands of players trying to break it that the real testing begins.

    3.3.0 (ICC) released on December 8, 2009
    3.3.5 (Ruby Sanctum) released on June 22, 2010
    4.0.1 (Pre-Cata) released on October 12, 2010
    4.0.3a (Cata) released on November 23, 2010

    So, ICC somewhere between 7 and 12 months, depending on your stance.

    Just a friendly advice for those who think the expansion is expensive:

    Cancel your sub until expansion hits -> save loads of money. It's not like they are going to introduce new stuff and honestly the best way to affect this long Tiers is by voting with a wallet.

    its not expensive. 15 bucks a month is a drop in the bucket in the big picture and the expansion will be what 50 bucks?

    True - but considering all changes due to the squish - I think WoD's beta is going to NEED to take longer to iron out at least most of the bugs.
