Welcome Back Weekend



Welcome Back Weekend is an occasional promotional event aimed at bringing back old players.

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 from June 21 to June 24, 2018, with a 25% discount on the listed services. It later returned from March 21 through March 24, 2019, with the discount increased to 30%. It returned once again in 2020 for November 5 through November 8, with the discount of 30%.
