World of Warcraft Goes Free-to-Play Until Level 20

[Jack]

Just after it introduced patch 4.2 for World of Warcraft, Blizzard has announced that the extremely popular MMO is now going free-to-play, but only until level 20.

World of Warcraft is currently the most popular online role-playing game out there, even if some subscribers have gotten tired of it, so Blizzard is trying to lure in even more people to its MMORPG.

The newest way to do this is by making it free to play, but only until level 20.

Up until now, World of Warcraft could have been tried out by new players in 14-day trials, during which they could have reached any level they wanted.

Now, the studio is trying to offer a bigger trial period for gamers that couldn't play World of Warcraft in a thorough way during those two weeks, while making it more difficult for them to depart with their character and their hard work.

In order to make it easier for these new players to jump into the full game, Blizzard has also introduced a special Digital Battle Chest of World of Warcraft, which includes the original title, as well as its first expansion, The Burning Crusade, available for $20 from its Battle.Net service.

when i played WOW (i stopped at Burning Crusade when my all powerful hardly gained high epic rogue's stuff was beaten by the new green stuff wore by noob who didnt know how to play^^), all the fun was when my guild reach epic level instances (Molten core, Blackwing lair, etc...). Lv20 is so easy to reach and no real insight of how is the game.

I tried WoW sometime before as a free trail, way to boring for me. I like action games better anyway

 

[jamescv7]

Even I didn't play World of Warcraft it seems I gave up in the game by level up your character and add like dexterity, stamina and etc.

WOW is A super action game !!

as i guildmaster, i saw:

- members virtual adultery finishing by real-life adultery
- members who were rival in the game finishing by PVP each others for real
- member flirting a female member get caught by the boyfriend of her and chased
- i even "abused" of my leader position to have real "favor" from a female member wishing an epic item ! (my best memory ^^)

im sure action games cant give you that
