    Same. One free month wouldn't have really done anything for me and I'd probably be bitching here how greedy Blizz wants to lure people in with free time and doesn't care about those already subbed.

    So Blizzard should give away things to combat unemplyment, brilliant. Maybe next to help drunks out we can give them gift certificates to bars.

    Depends on the model implemented.

    They could always make it a one-time fee to buy the game and you just play it from there. Purchasing things from the cash shop since you do have spare dosh if you want to spend on it.

    There is also just F2P but the cash shop is more monetized than previously.

    Another option is a fusing of the two I just spoke of. Games that do this tend to have a fairly short lifespan.

    There is also the option of instead of one big expansion, its several smaller slices. Call it any number of things such as chapters, issues, volumes, episodes, etc. So lets say a new episode comes out, its about $5-10. Its 8.0. The next episode comes out and its 8.1. etc

A free week or free month.

    Add on top of that the "amazing" paychecks here, and how that 15$ is like 15% of the salary of a doctor and you will begin to understand a few things about life and gaming in different countries.

    Sure, if i made 5000 $ in America or Germany/England, i wouldn't mind spending even 50$ on WoW. Heck, my friend in the US buys Starbucks coffee that costs like 5-10$ a cup LOL. I spend 0.30$ for a coffee here. Think about it. Not to mention how he often gets more than 1.. so thats like 20-30$ for coffee alone wtf. Life in America is so alien to me, i swear.
    Speaking as someone who frequents Starbucks, their coffees aren't $10. Even if you get the biggest mixed coffee drink (a venti) and order the most expensive one, you're only paying $5.75. If you add in extra shots of espresso or syrups or shit like that, yeah it can get closer to $10 but your average coffee drinker at Starbucks is spending $4-5 for their mixed coffee drinks. Also I'd love to have your phone bill and net bill that are only $15 each. That's about 1/5th what your average American pays for basic cell phone coverage & basic internet. Also if a doctor is struggling to make ends meat on a doctor's salary, he's living well beyond his means and it has nothing to do with the COVID-19 bullshit.

    Yeah, but what the OP suggested was neither of these options now, was it? He didn't put as much thought into it as you did.

    Why no let them make some money with people returning to the game having nothing better to do sitting at home to invest it into Shadowlands, from which everybody will benefit when its gonna be great expansion. Poor poor people cannot even afford the subfee...

    I guess he's just hoping one day he opens MMO-C and is greeted by a post from J Allen Brack that reads, "Well, World of Tanks did it so we gotta do better. Two months of free game time for everybody, unlimited Corrupted gear from a vendor that uses VP as a currency and an "I win" button for PvP that instantly kills anybody who you don't like."
    Hell Brack could say all that (except I win button) and people would still come out bitching.

    Personally threads like this which are clearly bait should be instantly locked with the op infracted. Letting them go is why this place is considered a shit feat by many.

    so 15 bucks is 15% of doctor paycheck so the whole paycheck is 100bucks but you pay 150 for only electricity? somehow i doubt that...

    Appreciate your time with friends and family while they're here. Don't wait until they're gone to tell them what they mean to you.

    I suggest give all inactive and active accounts one month of free play.
    You are being given double XP month. It is free. You know, they don't have to give us anything?
    FOMO: "Fear Of Missing Out", also commonly known as people with a mental issue of managing time and activities, many expecting others to fit into their schedule so they don't miss out on things to come. If FOMO becomes a problem for you, do seek help, it can be a very unhealthy lifestyle..
