Free Month?

Hello, I'm generally new here, and I've got a small question.
Let's presume that a person has been playing WoW until recently and it's account is on "frozen" status. If that persons buys and installs BC, is it going to get one month of free time like with the original WoW or not?
P.S. After what time are unused characters on account deleted?

1) There would be no free month with TBC. It's the same game with a lot more content. But if said person's account is frozen, said person should not buy TBC though. TBC will not enable that account to become unfrozen. Said person would have to buy another copy of WoW and a copy of TBC.

2) Characters and accounts are never deleted, or at least not deleted until Blizzard shuts down the WoW servers when WoW is no longer profitable for them.

Or does he mean that he himself has just cancelled his subscription and chosen not to play. Either way, you don't get a free month....but if you just haven't been playing for awhile, (as opposed to getting banned) then TBC will let you jmp right back into the game.

Sorry, I interpreted "frozen" as "banned". I didn't think about frozen being "cancelled".

So, I buy TBC, open a new credit card, pay a monthly fee and continue?
P.S. Maybe posted in wrong part of the forum, I've played WoW actively for more than a year :)

If your account wasn't banned (which we are still unclear on), then all you need to do is buy TBC and reactivate the account. No new credit card needed.

If your account was banned, then you would need a new copy of WoW and a copy of TBC. If you're playing on US servers and your account was banned, then I think you would need to validate the new account with a different credit card.

No, I'm not banned... "Frozen" status is status where you have no subscription left, not banned, not cancelled. Don't know how it is in America, but in Europe we pay on a one, three or six month subscribtions, and I personally (have) used Visa Virtuon credit card of Raiffeisen bank. So, in fear of e-stealing, I pay only the amount needed to make a subscription of one month (aside of core amount of money on card), then manually update subscription, wait for it to expire, go to bank, add 13 more Euros on card, repeat. And now, because my credit card has expired, I decided to wait for TBC to continue playing and create a new credit card. I'm not banned, nor account cancelled, just OOS :)
P.S I live in Serbia, it's hard monetary situation there (average monthly payment 60 Euros), so that's why I have decided to wait for TBC in hope of "Free Month" Thank you all for help.
