Operating mode over ten years, World of Warcraft or will usher in a fee model change

After more than 10 years of operating in a fee-based mode, perhaps the World of Warcraft is about to make a difference. Not long ago Blizzard officially announced that it would launch a new service designed to allow players to buy game time in game currency.

Of course, while the service makes it a reality & legal to "buy a little card with gold", the real benefit will be the player with a large number of virtual currencies. After the service is officially launched, players will be able to buy a "World of Warcraft" item in the game store with real money, which can recharge game time for players and trade in auction houses as game items. If you've ever played some domestic games that allow you to buy and sell points, that's pretty much what it means. It is also important to note that the token will become a soul binding object after the transaction is completed through the auction house, to some extent to avoid the player monopolizing the market hoarding goods.

As for why such services are introduced, Blizzard explains, "This will balance the gaming experience of players who have no money but have time (college, young people) and money without time (people with jobs)." At the same time, such reform will certainly standardize the game in the spot card sales market, and further avoid the point card fraud phenomenon.

At the moment we don't know when Blizzard will launch the service, and the price of the token has not been announced by Blizzard. It can be imagined that this time the reform will have a very small impact on the World of Warcraft.
