Hi about 2 months ago i stopped my subscription for world of warcraft. 2 days ago i bought a new game card only to discover that i could not remember my password. I then went to reset it only to find that my registered email had been changed also. How can i get my account details back?
Also this account is registered under my brothers name which he quit and i have been the only one using it for the last 2 years. Is that a problem?

Actually, it is an issue, since the account does not actually belong to you, which makes you ineligible to recover it.

At this point, you are best off creating a new account in your own name, and playing World of Warcraft on your own account. This will enable you to recover the account if anything like this occurs.

If you know anyone else that is currently playing, you may be able to level very swiftly by taking advantage of the Recruit A Friend trial program:
