Free to play - Coronavirus

Blizzard should make WoW free to play during this unsettling time, With a lot of people having to isolate themselves, it would help in killing those hours. It would be good PR too. Lot’s of businesses are trying to help their customers in some way as well as the man on the street looking out for people in their community.

Sorry, I haven’t seen one. I don’t spend my time trawling the forums. Maybe the more of these we have calling for this, the more chance there is of it happening, slim I know.

Wouldn’t be too shabby i guess, given how people are losing jobs or being unpaid during the time.

I don’t think making it ftp temporarily will change the game.

Yes, yes, let’s use one of the biggest crisis to hit the world for a very long time to try and get some personal advantage. just like all the scammers trying to sell dodgy health products, trying to profit from this coronavirus has to be seen as a truly honourable thing indeed.

If we’re not paying, how are we customers exactly? And contrary to popular belief, running WoW isn’t free. The income from subscriptions, and micro-transactions for that matter, keeps the server lights on and the employees paid.

Entitled Players: “WE WANT MORE!!!”

If you do that, then many people will swarm WoW, both classic and retail.

And if they do, the servers will be overloaded, lagging, dcing.

And then u will cry why WoW is f2p, or why servers lagging.

So nope, not a good idea.

How about a huge no from me. Go take your begging elsewhere. I do not want adverts all over my screen on your behest because that’s how crappy F2P games work.

I prefer the fast levelling to any free game time. Personally this is of far more benefit and I can level my Vulpera and my Mechagnome. It gives me more to do in my spare time.

They’ve given you 100% free exp, which they didn’t have to do. What more would you like, princess?

Feels bad for me. Apparently I am a “key worker” (don’t work in health or food) so I have to carry on working while everybody I know has been relieved or can work at home.

I think I’d rather take a dose of the virus.

Now I know the truth - Squidward indulges in ‘adult publications’ the cover of that magazine is a lie!!!

Think ppl are going a bit OTT here. No one’s begging, no one’s asking to make a profit out of a bad situation. I’m talking about helping people who may be in a bad situation. Forced to stay at home, can’t earn more because they can’t go to work etc. Now recognising the people that really need any help is another thing.
I just thought it would be a nice gesture from Blizzard if they could help some, if not all. Bit overboard with the trying to make a profit here. I’m almost certain the guys making those types of comments have lots of good friends /sarcasm off.
