Buying a WoW account
A World of Warcraft account is priced on titles, collectibles and item level, and is only yours if you control its Battle.net email and authenticator. Here is what to check before paying, what sets the price, and what a warranty should cover.
Checklist
Six things to check
- 1
It is a whole Battle.net account
World of Warcraft characters live on a Battle.net account, which can also hold other Blizzard games and their purchases. Ask what else is on it, and make sure you receive the Battle.net login itself — not access to a single character.
- 2
The Battle.net email
You should end up controlling the email bound to the Battle.net account. Without it, the previous owner can reset the password and take the account back.
- 3
The authenticator
If the account has an authenticator attached, it must be removed from the previous owner’s phone and attached to yours after purchase; otherwise they keep a way in.
- 4
The region
EU, US and other regions are separate. Blizzard does not move World of Warcraft characters or accounts between regions, so an EU account stays on EU realms. Buy the region you will play on.

Item level, titles and collectibles — with screenshots
An account is priced on item level, PvP titles such as Gladiator, and rare or removed collectibles. Ask for in-game screenshots of the character sheet, the achievements and the mount journal rather than a list in the title.
- 6
Game time and the expansion
Playing retail World of Warcraft needs active game time and the current expansion on the account. Check both before paying, or budget for them.
What sets the price
Titles and collectibles come first
Item level resets every season; PvP titles such as Gladiator, Cutting Edge and mounts or items that can no longer be earned do not. That is why they set an account’s price. What each one is and whether it can still be earned: rare collectibles; what accounts cost at METAMMO today: account prices; what comes with an account: what a WoW account includes.
What our warranty covers
Every METAMMO account is checked by hand before listing and carries a lifetime warranty against recovery: if a previous owner ever takes the account back, the original buyer gets a replacement or a full refund, your choice.

Answers
Buying FAQ
Is it safe to buy a World of Warcraft account?
The main risk is the previous owner recovering the account if they still control its email or authenticator. Full access including the email and authenticator removes most of it. METAMMO accounts carry a lifetime warranty against recall or recovery by a previous owner: a replacement or a full refund, your choice.
What does a WoW account cost at METAMMO?
Today 23 retail accounts are available, from $229. Gladiator and Rank 1 titles and collectibles that can no longer be earned move the price more than item level. Delivery is usually within a few hours, 24 hours at most; payment in crypto (300+ coins) or PayPal through a Discord ticket.
Can I move a bought EU account to US servers?
No. Blizzard does not transfer World of Warcraft characters or accounts between regions, so the region an account is on is the one you play on.
