Looks like they are trying anything to keep people caring.

I guess maybe....

Almost enough to make me re-sub

if I want to start the free trial will azeroth have the changes that cataclysm brought or will I just be playing vanilla WOW

i hate what this monstrocity has turned d&d into.

it will have all the changes

Time for a good old rant from Andy on Respec, and maybe lots of shouting between him and Adam with Phil wondering at them.

I feel like coming back, but then I remember clearing the same raids over and over again, wondering how many months it will be for Firelands to even get a release date. The infinite free trial is a good move to attract new players since the veteran playerbase is taking a small dip. People who have been playing for years tire of the formulaic raids and pvp imbalances quickly, and waiting months for new content feels unacceptable to me anymore.

OMG I CANT WIAT TO PLAYY! I quit WoW a few years ago, back when quitting it actually meant you had some supernatural force strong enough to pull you away. I did have a blast for almost 2 years while playing. After playing Perfect World, Rift, Gods and Heroes, and some other nameless MMO's, they all feel the same. That, because I don't like that "style", makes me sad. Other people like it though, so, kudo's Blizzard. Just release Diablo 3 already.

This makes me want to play WoW again, although my account got hacked.

Never played it before. I've always wanted to, but can't afford to pay subscriptions for WoW and Xbox Live and I will always be a console gamer at heart. I stick to LotRO when I want to play online, but now I think I'll give this a shot.

(Update) Just tried to sign up, but it says it is temporarily unavailable lol.

As the first timers/returning player incentives continue to pile on, the imminent unveiling of of Project Titan comes closer... or more importantly Diablo 3. *swats in WoW's general direction* You are a long dead ideal to me... make way, please.

Blizzard knows how to make money, that's for sure... They snuck in a F2P model, but are so slick they named it Starter Edition. Touche Blizzard... Idk if Firelands is enough to get me to resub though.

Since World of Warcraft is addicting you should never ignore your children:)

Cool, I might actually try WoW!

Took way to long for some of these business decisions to happen. Packing in previous expansions should be free across the board, there's ultimately no point in paying for an expansion of ANY mmo that isn't the current one, because if that's all you have you basically play an RPG with a chat service.

I'd bet if they had kept the price of WoW at 29.99 and just rolled in previous expansions into the package they would have bumped their ability to increase or in the case of now, retain customers.

Beyond that it's just too little to late for me to have any urge to play again. Maybe whenever 5.0 drops and I'm bored of SWTOR (want a release date please bioware...)

I might try this out but im still not a big fan of the subscription fee at all.........I think once you buy a game you dont have to pay for it ever again.....I know what its for but still I dont like it........Guild Wars did it right and I LOVED Guild Wars it had a buncha expansions but I bought every single one.....hopefully Guild Wars 2 will be subscription free too

Quick question: Does anyone know if this new "Starter Edition" will be just like the old trial, save for the no time limit? Are you going to be able to join guilds and so on, or is it just as before?

This will surely attract the five or so individuals that haven't already tried WoW to some degree.

Right when I bought Cataclysm for $40 dollars thanks guys.
