Getting The Band Together
Upon first logging into
World of Warcraft, the Warband conversion process automatically enables many of the game's progression systems to be account-wide. Players will not need to log into each character individually for all progression, items, etc., to convert; however, there may be a short wait for the system to completely process your Warband the first time you log in. The Warband conversion process can take up to 20 minutes or longer, and depending on the amount of data being processed, there could be a login queue.
The new Warbands system is effective for all characters on a player's Battle.net account and the items, Collections, and progression they share. It's important to note that your Warband is limited to characters within a
single region (for example, the Americas or Europe) but spans every realm, faction, and even subscription you may have within that region.
This system is designed to bring more evergreen progression to players with multiple characters on their Battle.net accounts. We've prepared a guide covering all the specifics players will need to know with Warbands in The War Within! Check out our Warbands Overview Guide below!
