I thought this was a joke but it seems like it’s actually legit. WoW, which has a subscription and paid expansions, just added a $90 item to their store. This is Korean MMO levels of absurdity. What do you think of this?

I’m more surprised that this game is still running. I haven’t heard of anyone playing it in years.
I quit after they fraudulently charged me a 6 month subscription renewal and then refused to refund it for months because no customer service reps anymore, and then the next expansion had paid early access for a huge paywall. It’s a total scam now
I had jumped back in when tbc classic was released. I wound up on a dead server. It made end game content essentially impossible. I was hoping to move right into wotlk classic at release as that was my jam back in the day. Except they weren’t going to include the dungeon finder or cross realm groups meaning it would still be a dead server with no chance at end game content. I was done with pointlessly dumb leadership. Unsubbed and found a private server that hits all the right buttons.
There’s a few at work who have admitted to still playing. Blizzard owes a lot to the very concrete social structures built around the game.
It’s not the same amount as its heyday, but it’s still the most popular MMO. Hell i picked it up last expansion after not playing it for ten years and still have a good time, for now.
I will never buy this mount though. I refuse to pay more for a game that costs money to buy and a sub to play. What’s unfortunate is you can really tell blizzards priorities now. Content is severely lacking, every patch has quite a few bugs, and it really feels like they have a skeleton crew working on the game while milking the remaining population. And so many people are totally okay with that. If there was at least another decent MMO out there I’d drop wow and play it. But the MMORPG space is sorely lacking.
It’s one of those games I’ve always been interested in trying, but the idea of paying a subscription for a videogame makes me uncomfortable for some reason.
