How to Change From a European to a US Server for World of Warcraft

"World of Warcraft" players on European servers often switch to North American servers to play with international family and friends. European servers and North American servers do not share the same subscription databases, and the transfer of existing accounts and characters is not possible. Europeans wanting to change to North American servers must purchase a different version of the game on EU Battle.net, then create and start new characters on the North American servers.

Instructions

    • 1

      Visit EU Battle.net. Click "Log In," located in the top right corner of the page. A new pop-up window appears requesting the email and password for your Battle.net account. Click the "Log-in" button. The European version of "World of Warcraft," along with any other Blizzard games licensed to your account, appears.

      Click "Explore" in the upper right corner of the page. A drop-down menu appears. Select "Buy Games." All games that are available for digital purchase will appear in the middle of the screen.

      Click the "Change" game region link, located in middle right portion of the page, directly above the "StarCraft: Anthology" box cover.

You will return to the game selection screen for the North American region.

      Install the North American version in a different location on your computer than your European version to avoid software conflicts. Create a separate shortcut to launch the game on your desktop.

    • 7

      Launch the game. Select a North American server and create your character. You now have two installs that allow you to play or change back and forth between European and North American servers, provided you have a current subscription on both accounts.
