Can I download World of Warcraft for free?

WORLD OF WARCRAFT is now free to download for anyone who wants it. The 14-year-old massively multiplayer online game isn’t becoming free to play, though — it will still require gamers to pay a subscription fee to take a character past the first 20 of the game’s 110 levels.

Can I play WoW without paying?

It seems that you will be able to play World of Warcraft without paying for the game, just its monthly subscription. Blizzard’s long-running massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) is now subscription-only. Though this is a welcome move ensuring the game sustains itself beyond its current install base.

Why does WoW have a monthly fee?

The subscription is there in order to prevent WoW from becoming a pay-2-win MMO. The subscription ensures that all the microtransactions are purely cosmetic and quality-of-life benefits, not actual character power. And if you don’t have a subscription in an MMO, then it gets pay-2-win microtransactions. That’s a fact!

How much money does World of Warcraft make?

World of Warcraft was the world’s most popular MMORPG by player count of nearly 10 million in 2009. The game had a total of over a hundred million registered accounts by 2014. By 2017, the game had grossed over $9.23 billion in revenue, making it one of the highest-grossing video game franchises of all time.
