CTOnews.com January 19 news, Blizzard China released a note this afternoon to answer frequently asked questions about the progress of World of Warcraft.

Blizzard China said that the download function will be open to World of Warcraft to terminate its service at 0: 00 a.m. on January 24.

In terms of security, Blizzard China says the feature is safe, providing a comprehensive archive of character information, equipment and game progress, with a view to using it when World of Warcraft reopens. In addition, this function is an additional supplement to the data storage of NetEase, which is responsible for this part of the data.

CTOnews.com has learned that Blizzard China points out that there are no plans to launch this feature at the global level.

It should be noted that the corresponding functions of classic nostalgic clothes and "Dragon Age" are installed and online separately, so players need to download the account progress separately. Permanent level 60 nostalgic clothing and Wrath of the Lich King nostalgic suit are also calculated separately. If players want to save all three kinds of progress, they need to log in to each client for progress archiving operation, and each client has a separate archive file.
