World of Warcraft Unlimited Trial


World of Warcraft Unlimited Trial

MMORPG trials have always baffled me. How can anyone truly see what an MMORPG is about in 7 or even 14 days? When you have such a limited time to check out such huge game worlds, often, you don't even bother. Blizzard finally realized this and has announced that the World of Warcraft trial playing time will be extended to an unlimited number of days. Standard restrictions of the trial still apply: Your max level is capped at 20, and your use of sending messages and using the auction house are limited.

This seems to be a step toward WoW becoming F2P, which in my opinion, would be a good thing. A lot of people just don't want to or cannot afford to pay monthly for a game they may not have time to play that often. Being able play the trial up to level 20 with no time restrictions will be great for World of Warcraft, and if you still haven't tried it out, now would be a great time to enter the world of Azeroth. Level 20 may not seem like much, but the first 10-20 levels include a lot of great content in the newest expansion, Cataclysm. You can also try out different classes and races and get a feel for each one (up to level 20) to see which class / race combination best suits you.

It seems like with The Old Republic and other interesting MMORPGs on the horizon, Blizzard wants to give people another reason to choose WoW over the competition.
