World of Warcraft: 2 Million Pre-Registered Players in 2 Days for Returning Chinese Servers
After Blizzards announcement of reinstating operations in China, NetEase opened up pre-registrations for World of Warcraft. WoWs official Weibo account shared some interesting stats related to these pre-registrations and more, and we found out 2 million players had already registered only two day...

do chinese players keep their accounts on these servers from before the wipe? I'm a hearthstone player and I remember feeling so bad for the players that had invested all that time to build all those decks and collect all those cards and then suddenly they just poofed out of existence.
I don't expect that data to have been preserved, but it'd be nice for the CN playerbase of blizz games to actually get their account back
Board game the Chinese players the option to download their account data before shutting down the servers. Whoever did that will (presumably) have the option to upload that data once the services are restored.
Afaik neither blizzard or netease saved any of the data. Blizzard didn't because Chinese players' data can't be stored on servers outside of china and netease didn't because...fuck 'em?

Extremely unlikely, Blizzard probably don't want a bunch of files that have been tempered with. Also, if it's like the data export you can also do for non-Chinese accounts, it's just stuff like transaction history, chats, and essentially your profile in a game like Overwatch (match history, stats, etc.).

I've read the exact opposite. When the servers went down Netease (or Blizzard) announced the accounts would stay and be saved.
