If you still do play World of Warcraft for whatever reason, you should have already heard of this news. Blizzard is offering players with incentives to bring their old WoW friends back, if a player successfully brings a player back and gets him to get more WoW game time, they are both rewarded with the following benefits:
- Sender
- Spectral Gryphon for Alliance characters
- Spectral Wind Rider for Horde characters
- Receiver
- A level 80 character
- Free upgrade to Cataclysm
- Free character move
- 7 free days of game time
This really is Blizzard's cry of desperation. Is World of Warcraft finally dying? Or are they just trying to get people hyped for their new "Myst of Pandaria" expansion? Either way, it's probably due to the declining subscribers and they've finally decided to do something about it. If you've been wanting to get back to WoW, now is probably the right time!

I wrote a preview on what to expect of Mists of Pandaria just yesterday. So yeah I still enjoy playing WoW, and I'm not too bothered about what Blizzard does to attract customers :)
ReplyDeleteThis isn't terribly new. I remember them doing the same sort of thing when Burning Crusade came out.
ReplyDeleteLol, I don't even play WoW and this is news to me.
ReplyDeleteGetting a little desperate there eh Blizzard?
They recently gave me free game time, and sent me an email where a cute critter asked me to come back. It's almost a shame I don't think anyone can sign me up for this scheme so they can get a mount, though I already have a level 85 and a copy of Cataclysm. If it was free Pandaria I'd consider it.
ReplyDeleteFeels like they're trying to do whatever they can to keep their subscribers.
DeleteTheir tears must taste good!
ReplyDeleteThey need dem monies.
ReplyDeleteI'm still not playing WOW
ReplyDeleteThey are desperate!
WOW scares me...although the Southpark episode did crack me up :)
ReplyDeleteIt's TOO late they though yeah lets make it more noob friendly and what happened!!!! All the wow veterans left there was no point if some new guy can achieve the same items as a long term wow player then there's no point! BRING ON GUILD WARS 2
ReplyDeleteYes! Guild Wars 2 is going to stomp WoW flat.
Deletei start to play that
ReplyDeleteIt is really pathetic. They should just go F2P if they want to survive.
ReplyDeletenever got into it, though I can see myself getting into the old republic so I might actually get into an MMO for once
ReplyDeleteEnd is coming for MMORPG era. Finally.
ReplyDeleteI respectfully 100% disagree with you. The end is coming to MMORPH era? Seriously?
DeleteIt's my belief that with the advancements of virtual life gaming technology in the future, MMORPG's could be the thing that seize people's lives and become an addiction. If you could literally fly, cast magic, etc. in what felt like real life, would you suddenly want to stop?
It's just beginning my friend
I haven't played WoW for now about 5 years. No reason for me to go back, even for this stuff. I think it's really dying.
ReplyDeletei havent played WoW at all, but this seem really desperate
ReplyDeleteWARCRAFT was also meant to be adapted into a film at some point... never happened
