World of Warcraft: Play for Free Until September 26th

SBFordSBFord Former Associate EditorMember LegendaryPosts: 33,129

Blizzard is sporting an interesting splash page that invites new World of Warcraft players to take on the game for free from now through September 26th, likely right before the release of the v6.0 patch that will lead to the Warlords of Draenor expansion. How this differs from the endless free 1-20 game play remains to be seen. We'll keep you posted.

From Blizzard (thanks,Myria!):

Hey guys,



The media link to our site is a graphic used from some promotions we were running for select players of our other games that haven't tried WoW yet. It's part of an email sent to them.



The free time it's referring too is the 30 day month that all new subscribers get.

Check it out on the World of Warcraft site.

    Lol, ya because people who are interested in  a wow trial, might as well be interested in AA.

    I was going to play ArcheAge, but now I'm going to be playing Wow it looks like, what a wacky twist of emotions I'm having with respect to my gaming future. Best of luck to ArcheAge still though, would have been a cool game.

    But how is this different than the WoW Starter Edition?  Can you level beyond 20 during this time period?  Can you play as a Monk?

    The title of this article should read "Select New Players Play for Free Until September 26" given the update that Myria provided from the bnet forums ("for select players of our [Blizzard's] games").

    There's also at least one other post in the mmorpg/WoW/general forum that is going to get some attention, incorrectly titled "WoW just went f2p".  I guess mmorpg's article title is a little better than that ;)

    If you keep the title as-is then expect more conspiracy theorists to post here.  That may still be entertaining to read.

    So guessing from the comments here Archeage is the next WoW killer.  I'm gonna go out on a limb and say no, no it's not.  

     

    I'm not a huge fan of Wow, but Archeage really isn't going to be much of a concern for Blizzard.

    Umm.. Nope, never played, since I was really pissed WoW drew off half of our Org back in AO. So I have seen others playing it for a few minutes, but never ever took a step into WoW myself. :P

    New accounts only?

    Personally the only modern MMORPG trend that annoys me is the idea that MMOs need to be designed in a way to attract people who don't actually like MMOs. Which to me makes about as much sense as someone trying to figure out a way to get vegetarians to eat at their steakhouse.

    It would be highly irresponsible for Blizzard to move WoW to F2P cus' they would be responsible for the Internet exploding.

    If I were in Blizzard I would make WoW f2p without latest epansion but only on pvp servers image
