- Blizzard has announced that the 30, 90 and 180-day game time options for World of Warcraft will no longer be sold

Blizzard has announced that the 30, 90 and 180-day game time options for World of Warcraft will no longer be sold on Battle.net. As of this Friday (26), it is only possible to buy 60 days of access for R $ 84. The subscription system remains available with monthly, quarterly and half-yearly renewals for R $ 32, R $ 87 and R $ 149, respectively . In addition, you can still pay for the monthly fee using WoW Token.

“We recently conducted a review on the available services in all currencies. Based on this, we have decided to alter the available Game Time options in the Blizzard Shop,” Blizzard wrote in a forum post.

Purchasing game time was a way for players to experience World of Warcraft without committing to a recurring subscription payment plan. As of today, players who wish to continue this model of payment will only be able to buy game time in 60-day chunks at 29.99 USD.

However, the players' reaction can in no way be described as positive and the primary criticism has been to eliminate the 30-day opportunity. Many of them prefer to buy a smaller number of days and do not pay a monthly subscription, and the removal of the 30-day option quite significantly limits their options, because they are forced to buy twice as many days.

“This really doesn’t sit well, just a blatant money gouging tactic,” one player said. “Why should we magically be forced to commit to two months at a time if we chose not to go the route of an active sub? They are just trying to push players towards [subscribing] because they know any reoccurring subscription that automatically charges you.”

On social media and forums, other players say the decision was made only to generate more profit for Blizzard, as it would make it difficult for people who play casually and prefer to buy only 30 days to pay. However, it is still possible to contract the monthly subscription for R $ 32 and cancel before the automatic renewal on the credit card.

Wowhead.com speculates the move might be to shift game time buyers into one of Blizzard’s subscription plans, which leads to more money for the company.Subscription plans and WoW tokens have not been affected, so don’t worry if you’re like me and still paying 14.99 USD month-to-month.

Buying after 60 days is standard on most paid MMO games, but there are fewer options for players and the Blizzard forum is full of players who don't understand why this change was made at all and where they vent their frustration.
