    Does that mean we gotta buy a 12 month sub or just have been subbed for 12 months total?
    While getting Diablo for free is nice, I'm sure hoping this isn't a ploy to hide a lack of content/ideas for WoW.

    Hmm... Does this mean i can get D3 for free as iv played WoW since 2005? or do i have to buy a one year gamecard?
  1. Collected's Avatar
    The 1 year commitment sounds like a bit of a cheap con to me. So you can't quit for 12 months and you get D3 and beta access? I'm not sure it's worth the commitment. It's easy to get into the WoW beta tests anyway and it's not like people wouldn't have bought D3 anyway.

    Blizzard really are desperate to get people to legally commit to 12 month subs because they know they're going to lose a ton of subs with GW2 and SWTOR in a few months.

    Sorry if anyone already asked this, but is the hammer Metzen is holding supposed to be the doomhammer or something about Diablo?

    The 1 year sub offer is a genius move from Blizzard I bet a lot of people will renew for a year and then a month later wish they didn't

    I wonder if they'll charge 2x what the 6 month fee is, or less/more

    I just got done mentioning to my guildmates how well Priest T5 went with the Tyrael's Charger mount. The mount is absolutely amazing.
