$15 is too much if all I want to do is play Classic and TBC Classic. I literally hate retail and have less than zero desire to play it.
Uninstalled everything, moving on to something else, will return when heads are retracted from butts over there in California.
Laters.
12.99€ is too much period. These days it should be 9.99€ or 5.99€ but this is all wishful thinking I’m afraid.
I only play TBC. Retail is ruined for me.
Would you more like 15$ for Classic and another 15$ for tbc?
It could have been so…
Really? Have you heard of inflation? If Blizzard followed yearly inflation rates like other companies, sub these days would be around 21€.
Ok. And yes.
As I said, wishful thinking.
let em try it 
Blizzard cant follow anything, company full of idiots.
Because 3 euros makes a massive difference?
You are much brighter than you look!
Thanks 
You do know that $15 in 2004, when WoW started, is worth $21,78 today with 2,22% average inflation rate per year over 17 year? Other regions had their regional subscription prices corrections started long ago and several times, due to currency exchange rate fluctuations.
I do not belive that Blizzard will increase suscription cost with current energy crysis and possible hyperinflation in EU as it will only kill their playerbase, however for me WoW was always been a suscription only game with no P2W shop where you can buy gear directly from publisher.
Yes there are a lot of RMT and shady gold, farmed by bots in Classic and BCC that fuel Goldbits. But as long as I can find players who, like me, are paying only for suscription and get the rest with their own effort (gold, gear, whatever you get in game) I am fine with that as it still requires skilled players to get these items in the first place.
If Blizzard will make WoW F2P and start monetising it otherwise than WoW token, by selling items directly is shop or introduce some RMT consumables to increase character power I will quit WoW immediately.
By this logic, phones today should cost thousands of dollars, assuming we adjust for inflation the price they had in the '90s. That’s not how it works, though.
I agree, 5€ would be fine IMO. In fact, they should introduce the free to play mode for SoM and upcoming fresh servers.
Also, free to play for a month every Christmas would be nice.

I mean, just look how excited Paulie got!
13 euro is nothing. I lost more money during a year not playing / paying for wow due to buying other games than just playing and paying for wow. And by more it was like 3 times as much lol.
100.000€ is nothing - Elon Musk (not a quote!)
Please do remind me how much I have to pay for a Samsung Galaxy Z Fold ^^
Its not because inflation
A more apt comparison would be: how much do you have to pay, today, for a 5-10 year old smartphone model? Because TBC classic certainly doesn’t incorporate the same level of development costs than a new Galaxy would
Ah, yeah, that makes sence… And here I was all dead serious comparing top of the shelf products in a always improving technological field with a more or less static product from 2007. Thanks for clearing it out for me … ^^
Well, this is how world economy and inflation work in any area, including food industry.
All I am saying we should be lucky they dont raise sub prices, not reducing them, esp since we have access to 3 different version for same sub.
