    • Wow subscriber since 2004
    • Started hardware boxing 2005 to late 2007
    • Started software boxing late 2007 to present day
    • [... TONS OF GOOD HISTORICAL INFO ...]
    • The refund request I wrote was civil, professional and to the point. I expressed my sadness that my hobby was going away in a short simple manner and why I thought I should be refunded over $300.00 despite knowing they have “NO” reason to refund me what so ever. I also let them know that if they ever decide to update their policy to allow multi-boxing again (in the current form) that I would be back.
    • The very next day I got a response to my refund request saying they were sorry to see me go, that they understand with this new change in policy why I would be upset and how they could see my point of view regarding the refunds. They refunded everything but a couple character transfers stating that too much time had gone by.
    • I have also received no such warning email about the use of 3rd party software and I have been logged in since the policy change with Innerspace & Isboxer loaded up. I did one last PVE run and then started cleaning up my banks and stuff getting the characters ready for a long sleep.

    Sorry for the long post all, but hopefully this can give some insight to others why certain things may or may not be happening with their accounts.

    All in all, despite it sucking that I can’t play my hobby anymore, I feel like my interactions with Blizzard and requesting the refunds were handled in a very professional manner on their end.

    I know I could hardware box, I have all the equipment to do so, but do I really want to right now?
    I’m already sick of the community (wow community) and its sort of like the same thing going from multi-boxing 5 accounts down to 1 account in regards to using IsBoxer > Hardware.

    I’m spoiled now because of InnerSpace/IsBoxer and in my mind hardware boxing would suck in comparison. Now if Lax ends up doing some slim down version that strips away everything that violates their new policy, but still provides some quality of life functionality will I hardware box then?
    MOST LIKELY!
    Thanks for all the good info and my history and experiences are similar except that I mainly stopped boxing and having multiple subscriptions when I saw #PandaGate coming up until the Classic Launch... While there was a period I was not boxing I was a loyal & continuous Blizz subscriber/customer as in between that time I just kept my primary Collector's Edition account active and would come back from time to time to check out new Expansions and or collect battle pets/mounts or Hunter pets or what not (also tried the new classes and some of the new races).

    I am not 100% sure I will cancel my boxing subscriptions permanently and stop boxing soon but may. Even if I do I will likely keep my main account active like I always have... For now I am at least thinking & theory crafting ways and approaches that may allow the community to continue boxing in a compatible/compliant way and may do some testing if I have time and the desire to play a new way... I do look forward to both Lax releasing a skinny & compliant version AND seeing some confirmation that it is acceptable to Blizzard and will gladly come back to software...

    Regarding refunds what I saw folk as getting consistent success on was any/all ShadowLands purchases and getting subscriptions on extra accounts cancelled and most/all of the remaining time transferred to their main account (I think one person is now good game-time-wise to 2023 if my memory is correct). Thankfully for me ShadowLands-wise the only thing I bought so far is 1 boxed Collectors Edition (which I wanted anyway) so I don't need to worry about it on my other accounts. I was starting to level a Tank+3Hunter+RestoDruid team for SL and was going to buy at least 4 more basic ShadowLands Expansions to 5box in SL but haven't yet and now glad I didn't.
