Dear Blizzard gamers:

At 0am on January 24, 2023, all operations of "World of Warcraft", "hearthstone Legend", "Watchman Vanguard", "Diablo Ⅲ", "Warcraft Ⅲ: remaking", "Storm Hero" and "StarCraft" series of products represented by NetZhiyi in the Chinese mainland market will be officially terminated. At that time, Blizzard will shut down Battle. net login and all game servers, as well as client downloads.

It's hard to say goodbye for 14 years. We have always known that for every player, including ourselves, all the characters, accounts, equipment and friend lists are not just a string of code, but our youth, our blood, our good life. Therefore, we will not forget our commitment to the players, and we will still try our best to serve the Blizzard players until the last minute and walk the last mile together with the players. We will announce the refund arrangement for Blizzard game products after discontinuation of service. Please follow the official account of "Blizzard Game Service Center".

With the national server players for 14 years, in addition to thanks, we feel more honored.

I would like to thank every player for his tolerance of the server, his understanding of customer service, his patience with the queue for the Golden Game, and even the willingness to put up with every advertisement in the live broadcast of Blizzard Game Channel.

We are even more honored that you will choose to spend the most important youth time with us. Together, we fight against time in the game, upgrade in ordinary life, and create unreplicable memories of youth together.

We will always remember that we fought with every player against one powerful enemy after another in the world of Azeroth; in the leisure time of the hearthstone tavern, we pondered, built, and discussed card skills; in the battle of vanguard and black claw, we became the heroes the world needed; we also wrote chapters and spilled blood in the sanctuary, in the hub of time and space, and in the Kopulu area.

These good memories will not disappear because of discontinuation, they are like gems, will shine in our ordinary life in the future. This is why we sincerely hope that this suspension is not the end of the national service players, but just a helpless pause.

We always firmly believe that those who meet will always meet again. Sincerely look forward to the day when all Blizzard players return to national service.

May the wind guide our way, and may the stars illuminate our way.

NetEase Ltd.
