WoW Token

[Ivraee]

 

 

 

After years of issues with gold selling in WoW and an emerging market for in-game resale of game time subscription cards, Blizzard is firing back with an official item - purchasable through the in-game Shop - that can be bought and sold for WoW gold on the Auction House.

 

 

The complete announcement on WoW Tokens can be found over on the WoW blog. At this point, the important takeaways are as follows:

 

1. Players can purchase WoW Tokens at a fixed real-money price through the in-game shop.

 

2. Once purchased, the WoW Tokens can be placed on the Auction House for sale.

 

3. WoW Tokens bought off the Auction House become soulbound, preventing any gaming of the market.

 

4. The in-game gold price of the WoW Token will be determined dynamically, based upon supply and demand, by the server. You cannot artificially raise or lower the price/value of the Token - you will be quoted the amount of gold you will receive for selling one at the time of listing your auction. All Tokens will be available at the current dynamic market price when you visit the Auction House.

 

 

WoW Tokens are only available in 30-day denominations at this time. Tokens do not expire and cannot be deleted.

 

More information is coming soon, including a time frame for the WoW Token to launch. We will provide an update as soon as we know any additional details.

 

Will you be using your out-of-game money to support your WoW habits by selling Tokens? Are you a gold baron who will never pay a dollar for your WoW subscription again? Or are you simply not planning on utilizing the new Token system? Let us know your thoughts.
