Get back in the Fight during Welcome Back Weekend

news.blizzard.com:

The War Within™ is nearly here—gather your friends and prepare to descend into the depths of Azeroth to face Xal'atath, Harbinger of the Void. From August 1 through August 4, we're giving all players with inactive World of Warcraft® accounts full access to the game* and all your characters without a subscription or Game Time**.

Brave adventurers can access all expansions, including Dragonflight, to play the most recent content—including the Radiant Echoes pre-expansion event.

Rejoin your guild, rally your Warband, and prepare to explore an entirely new world beneath Azeroth and get ready for The War Within when it launches on August 26, 2024, at 3 pm PDT globally.

If you've been away for a while, you can play through the new starting experience starting at level 1 to learn the ropes.

You can also opt out of the starting experience and begin instead at level 1 in the starting area for your race. Upon reaching level 10, you can continue into Dragonflight or speak with Chromie to choose a Timewalking Campaign. Choose an expansion and continue leveling until you're ready to enter Khaz Algar at level 70 when The War Within goes live. Players with Allied race characters will begin at level 10. Non-Allied race Death Knights and Demon Hunters will automatically begin at level 8 and play through their own starting experience before moving on around level 10.

If you'd like to select a different Timewalking Campaign, simply speak to Chromie again. With phase 2 of The War Within pre-expansion patch, Timewalking Campaigns scale to level 70 and include Dragonflight.
