Never posted here so I'm not sure how active the board is...

basically, I have an EU account and I play on EU servers...


My question is this

Can I change the client to US and play there without re-purchasing the game or anything like that?

If so how do I do it?

Not a 100% sure how but you might have to re-install WoW with the US client but if your account is on EU servers you still might not be able to log in on it.


You might need to transfer your toon to a US server first, again just not sure.

I think I can change the client but my main problem is I don't know if I can play there without re-purchasing a US account...

This.

Plus you will also need the US client as well. There are differences, although minor, between the US and EU clients. It's hard to tell which files would be different or not.

Or you could probably go into your WOW/Data folder, rename the enEU folder as enUS (or make a complete copy of the entire WoW folder if you still want to play on EU servers as well), then modify the realmlist.wtf file in the enUS folder, and put this info into it instead...

set realmlist us.logon.worldofwarcraft.com
set patchlist enUS.patch.battle.net:1119/patch
set realmlistbn ""
set portal us

After that you will probably need to run the repair tool, but it should make for a much smaller download than downloading the entire US client.
