Yesterday Blizzard announced they would remove the 30, 90 and 180 day playing time purchase options World of Warcraft, leaving only the option of 60 days.
“We recently conducted a review of the services available in all currencies. Based on that, we decided to change the play time options available on the Blizzard Store, ”wrote Blizzard in a forum post.
Buying playing time was a way for players to experience World of Warcraft without committing to a recurring subscription payment plan. Starting today, players who wish to continue with this payment model will only be able to purchase game time in 60-day installments at 29.99 USD.
Wowhead.com speculates the move may be to transfer game time buyers to one of Blizzard’s subscription plans, which results in more money for the company.
Subscription plans and Wow tokens were unaffected, so don’t worry if you’re like me and are still paying 14.99 USD month by month.
