Blizzard changes Game Time purchasing options for World of Warcraft



Players can no longer buy Game Time options of 30, 90, or 180 days. That leaves 60 days as the only option for players wishing to extend their WoW subscription using Game Time.To get more news about buy wow gold, you can visit lootwowgold official website.

This will not affect the more traditional subscriptions for WoW that include recurring payments. One, three and six-month recurring subscription options are still available. Blizzard cited a “review” it conducted as the reason for this change.

The change by Blizzard appears to be incentivizing players to use recurring subscription options instead of the one-time options.Oftentimes, players use the Game Time subscription option because they can farm in-game gold to purchase them. Making 60 days the sole option has a potential for negative side effects on players who farm gold to pay for their sub on a month-to-month basis.

On stream today, popular WoW stream Asmongold criticized the move, saying the change to Blizzard’s Game Time options is something that no one asked for. He also struggled to find any potential positive impact that the move could have.World of Warcraft’s first expansion, The Burning Crusade, not only represented an extension of zones and raids, but it meant the introduction of new races as well.

While all of the races available in vanilla World of Warcraft remained playable when TBC started, there were two more added by Blizzard Entertainment.The Blood Elf became a playable race for members of the Horde, and the Draenei were added to the Alliance.

One of the primary reasons for these race additions was to also introduce the expansion of class selection for each faction. While no classes were added to the game in TBC, classes previously only available to one faction became an option for the other. Blood Elves could be Paladins, a class that was previously exclusive to the Alliance. Draenei could be Shamans, a class previously exclusive to the Horde.

When the WoW Classic TBC pre-patch begins later this year, players will be allowed to start making Blood Elves and Draenei characters in preparation for the TBC launch.

While this option was not available when the game originally came out in the mid-2000s, Blizzard said during BlizzConline it would disincentivize players to make a Blood Elf or Draenei too much if those races weren’t available until after the game officially launched.
