Blizzard is opening up the floodgates to World of Warcraft Classic this weekend meaning anyone can play without needing a subscription. This arrives ahead of the launch of Cataclysm, which is currently in its "pre-patch" state between Wrath of the Lich King and Cataclysm.

The update introduces Goblins, Worgen, Transmogrification, and more! You can login starting now and play through May 13 at 10 AM Pacific.

Quote From Blizzard

Cataclysm Classic™  is nearly here, and you and your allies can prepare to embark on a new adventure. This weekend, we're giving all players with inactive World of Warcraft®  accounts full access to the World of Warcraft Classic progression realms* and the characters on those realms without a subscription or Game Time.

Gather your friends and get started on a new journey through the Cataclysm Classic pre-expansion patch and a changed Azeroth, risen from the fires of destruction. Play as a goblin or worgen, customize your appearance with transmogrification, and revel in new quality of life changes to enhance your time—including faster leveling in Outlands and Northrend, better Dungeon Finder, improved Collections UI, and more!

Rejoin your guild, rally your comrades, and prepare to face new challenges. Cataclysm Classic  launches on May 20, 2024, at 3 p.m. PDT worldwide.
