Your options for buying World of Warcraft game time have been reduced down to just one: it's now only available in 60-day increments.
Blizzard Entertainment has announced the opening of beta registrations for “World of Warcraft: The War Within,” inviting players to explore new subterranean worlds beneath Azeroth.
Danish from eXputer: "Despite Blizzard's attempt to give a fresh new spin to World of Warcraft, some fans still seem to be stuck in the past."
HG writes: "Blizzard is usually pretty bad at keeping secrets, but the company somehow managed to keep this one under wraps until now. Plunderstorm is a special limited-time event that’s basically World of Warcraft’s take on the Battle Royale genre."
You expected them to change it to benefit customers? lol
Guild Wars 2 my fav MMO, used to play GW1 since first beta, then carried over to GW2. Their busniess model is the best out there. You can play for free or you can just buy the game and there will be no monthly fees after that. Never have and never will. Blizzard can learn from them, plus Arenanet is only making Guild Wars and nothing else and they can remain profitable they also have a 3rd expansion coming 😁. So Blizzard can't afford to adopt this model? They have so much more $$$ than Arenanet and can afford this so easily, it's why I hate them much like EA and don't respect them anymore. Greedy shit bags who don't deserve a penny.
Blizzard seem to be becoming more anti consumer each year. Haven't touched WoW since 6 weeks after BFA launched and this just makes it even less likely for me to sub again to check out the current state of the game which I'm hearing is pretty good.
Now when a new expansion comes and you wanna check it out for a month you are forced to spend for 2 months. This is pretty much them admitting they can't sustain their population when XIV is eating them alive and now they are just double dipping off their more loyal players who buy anything.
Weird. I don't have a subscription I buy gametime in Wow, but doesn't really affect me because I was planning on going back for TBC and buying a whole year. But the very first time I bought time in WOW I did it just for one month (to see if I liked it) and I got hooked... Now I don't really know if I would had done it if I had to pay for 2 months instead... A lot of "new/fresh" Wow players will come for TBC... some of them won't try the game if they only have this 2 month gametime option.
