This week Blizzard will introduce World of Warcraft Tokens, an alternative to paying a monthly subscription for the game. The company announced the release date and initial price of this currency on their website today.
"The WoW Token will be going live in the Americas region (North America, Latin America, Australia, and New Zealand) on April 7 when maintenance concludes, at approximately 10 a.m. PDT," Blizzard said. "The WoW Token will be available for $20 USD/$25 AUD from the in-game Shop, and will be set at a starting price of 30,000 gold in the Auction House across the Americas region."
Players will be able to buy and sell World of Warcraft Tokens through a special section of the Auction House. Token sales will be region-wide, as opposed to server-wide like other Auction House transactions. Though Blizzard will be setting the price at first, it will then fluctuate based on supply and demand. Prices will go down if there''s a surplus and go up if they''re being snatched up quickly.
"To start we’ll be limiting the number of Token purchases to 10 within a 30-day period, but this limit may be adjusted over time. While Tokens will be available immediately from the Shop, please note that there may be a delay before Tokens put up for sale on the Auction House become available for purchase with gold."
Tokens can be redeemed for 30 days of game time in WoW. If you want to make gold, you purchase a Token with cash and sell it on the Auction House. If you want to save cash, you spend gold to buy a Token through the Auction House and get to avoid paying your subscription. The system is great news for players who don''t have the time or inclination to farm gold in the game and players with a huge surplus of gold that have nothing else to spend it on.
By introducing this new payment option, Blizzard hopes to make the game more accessible to players and also curb shady companies that sell gold for cash in the game.
“I don’t know if I would characterise this as in any way being a move away from WoW being a pure subscription MMO,” game designer Ion Hazzikostas said last month. “I think it’s just offering more access and flexibility in terms of how those subscriptions are paid. At the end of the day, every player in the game has an active subscription or a month of game time that’s been purchased by them or someone else in order to play the game. It’s just about the dual objective of broadening access and letting people have more flexibility about how they pay while striking a blow against the third-party goldselling market that’s been a blight on the game for such a long period of time."
Blizzard has been adamant that they won''t be making WoW free-to-play. Tokens are part of their ongoing strategy to make the game easier to play (and keep playing) without removing the monthly subscription altogether. It''s also the latest example of the company selling optional items and services to supplement the revenue they receive from subscriptions.
Here are all the details related to the new WoW tokens from Blizzard:
The WoW Token will be going live in the Americas region (North America, Latin America, Australia, and New Zealand) on April 7 when maintenance concludes, at approximately 10 a.m. PDT.
The WoW Token will be available for $20 USD/$25 AUD from the in-game Shop, and will be set at a starting price of 30,000 gold in the Auction House across the Americas region. From that point forward, the gold price will automatically fluctuate based on player supply and demand.
For the time being, Blizzard will be limiting the number of Token purchases to 10 within a 30-day period, but this limit may be adjusted over time. While Tokens will be available immediately from the Shop, note that there may be a delay before Tokens put up for sale on the Auction House become available for purchase with gold.
Each game region (Americas, Europe, Korea, Taiwan, and China) will have its own shared WoW Token exchange. When the rollout begins in the Americas game region, players in North America, Latin America, and Oceania will all be able to purchase a WoW Token from the in-game Shop.
Once purchased, a Token can then be put up for sale in a region-wide exchange via a new Game Time tab in the Auction House. Note that while you''ll see the new Game Time tab in that auction house with the launch of Patch 6.1.2, it won''t be active until the WoW Token launches in your region.
While the rest of the Auction House will remain realm-based, a region-wide WoW Token exchange will provide a large pool of prospective buyers, ensuring everyone has access to a "vibrant, active Token marketplace."
In the Americas, Europe, Korea, and Taiwan, players who purchase a WoW Token from the Auction House will be able to redeem it for 30 days of game time.
The starting gold value in each region will be based on several factors, including regional in-game economies, "but ultimately our goal is to select a fair and reasonable starting price." After that, the Token''s gold value will be determined dynamically based primarily on player supply and demand.
If people are purchasing Tokens from the Auction House faster than they''re being put up for sale, prices will go up accordingly. And to help make sure players can trade WoW Tokens confidently, "once a Token sells, the seller will receive the amount of gold they were quoted at the time they listed their Token."
