Free To Play in WOW

Here's a few of news that could have a big impact on millions of gamers in the future – Blizzards hugely popular MMORPG game WOW could eventually become free to play, being supported by the same micro trades that have made more leisured online games so popular.

It wouldn't be the first popular commercial game to decline that route. Anarchy Online has turned into a free playing service several years ago and the decision has been one that totally revived the games falling userbase and kept people playing for long after they would have successful subscripted. You still need to pay for certain elements of the game, but removing the need for monthly subscriptions opens up the game to a much wider audience. So we are eager to play free WOW.

There was no news on how this attitude might impact Blizzards top secret MMORPG project which is said to be "significantly different" from WOW, so that Blizzard aren't much worried about competing with them.
