The World of Warcraft Token no longer allows European players to redeem it for Blizzard Balance, instead only allowing it to be used for subscription purposes. Though World of Warcraft always had an abundance of gold sellers, Blizzard offered a legitimate way of exchanging gold for a World of Warcraft subscription with the launch of Patch 6.1.2. The option of exchanging a Token for Blizzard Balance was added in Patch 7.1.5, and the World of Warcraft Token came to Wrath of the Lich King Classic on May 23, 2023.
