WoW: Dragonflight Collector’s Edition – and how the purchase price is refunded for upgrades

The surprise of the week for WoW fans came on the evening of June 21, 2022: World of Warcraft: Dragonflight will be released in 2022 – it can be assumed that it will be at the end of November or beginning of December. And to match, WoW players can pre-order Dragonflight. The new expansion can be ordered digitally in three versions directly from Blizzard – the Base Edition, the Heroic Edition and the Epic Edition. There will be no normal, physical base edition with box like WoW: Shadowlands.

Of course, the real fans want a WoW (buy now ): Put Dragonflight Collector’s Edition in the closet. It is called the Dragonflight Epic Edition Collector’s Edition and can so far exclusively at Blizzard for just under 130 euros be pre-ordered. As soon as this version becomes available from other retailers such as Amazon, you will be informed. In addition to the digital content of the Epic Edition, the Dragonflight Collector’s Edition comes with an art book, a mouse pad and collectible pins. The thing is: As usual, the CE will be delivered later. But what if you want to benefit from the digital goodies of the Epic Edition NOW?

Purchase price refund as Battle.net credit for the impatient

The veterans among you will hardly be shocked that the Blizzard people recommend that you buy WoW: Dragonflight twice if you are impatient with digital goodies. Community Manager Kaivax writes about this in the WoW forum: “We have received a number of questions from players regarding the physical Collector’s Edition that has recently gone on sale and how they can use the game code as part of their purchase. As there is no digital delivery of the code prior to receiving the physical box, two scenarios are conceivable:

• Players not interested in gaining access to pre-release content or digital items prior to receiving the Collector’s Edition can wait for the box to be delivered to their shipping address. Upon receipt, the game code is in the box and can be applied to the account one wishes to upgrade to the Dragonflight Epic Edition.
• If you would like to enjoy pre-release content or digital items before receiving the Collector’s Edition, you can purchase one of the available digital options and upgrade your account to Dragonflight immediately. Upon receipt of the Collector’s Edition, the code included in the box can be applied to the account to be upgraded to the Dragonflight Epic Edition. This will result in an automatic credit of Battle.net Credits to the appropriate account equal to the cost of the original digital purchase.”
