Welcome Back Weekend

Welcome Back Weekend is an occasional promotional event aimed at bringing back old players. During this time, all inactive World of Warcraft accounts are upgraded to grant returning players full access to the game and all their characters without requiring a subscription. Alongside the Welcome Back Weekend for returning players, Blizzard also offers a discount on the following Game services: Appearance Change, Character Transfer, Faction Change, Name Change, and Race Change.

Welcome Back Weekend first ran for 21-24 June 2018 with a 25% discount on the listed services. It later returned for 21-24 March 2019 with the discount increased to 30%. It returned once again in 2020 for 5-8 November 2020 with the discount of 30%. And once again for 17-20 November 2022.
