    Free week of WoW?

    I haven't been subbed to WoW for a while, but I just got an email saying that I could get a free week of WoW to try out the new Gaze of the Black Prince buff.

    "<My name>,


    To become a legendary hero, one must first obtain a truly legendary cloak. Return free today with 7 days of game time, and the Black Prince will help you on your quest to earn yours. For a limited time, the Gaze of the Black Prince buff will give you a 100% increase to Black Prince reputation and increase the legendary quest item drop rate. Click here to learn more.

    Claim your game time to earn your place alongside the legendary heroes of Warcraft! Simply click the button below—or just log in to Battle.net®, select your game account <Account name>, and click Referrals & Rewards > Free Game Time.

    Hurry, this offer expires June 30, 2014!"

    Did anyone else get this? Why is Blizz doing this? The only other time I can recall where I was given a free week of WoW time was with the launch of SoO. Also, does this mean I'll be able to use it on June 29th and still get a free week? What do you guys think?

    Edit: There is also a pic of the box art for the expansion in the email. Not sure if it's been shown around before, but it is of Grom screaming/posing.

    Assuming it's a code and not a link, try it out! Could be legit.

    If it's a link (or in this case, a button) and you're stupid enough to click it, enjoy having your account stolen.
    Still wondering why I play this game.
    I'm a Rogue and I also made a spreadsheet for the Order Hall that is updated for BfA.

    It seems like it also has an option just to go and log in on Battle.net and go to Referrals and Rewards.

    "or just log in to Battle.net®, select your game account <Account name>, and click Referrals & Rewards > Free Game Time. "

    Do that one I'd say OP, the worst that could happen is nothing is there under Referrals & Rewards.

    Unless Battle.net was hacked, in which that case we're all doomed anyway!

    Maybe he isn't subscribed to get newsletters/offers from Blizz? Also, it links to us.battle.net. So I'm sure it is legit.



    So why is Blizzard doing these free week of WoW offers?

    To get people to play again isn't that obvious?

    Because they want to try bring people back to game probably? Give people a free week and atleast some of them will probably resub.

    With this raid patch dragging on as long as it has, and no word of a closed beta/open beta/launch date yet, I'm very sure that WoW has lost a lot of subscribers for the time being (at least until WoD launches). If you read forums you know a lot of people are currently unsubbed and waiting, planning to resub when the expansion launches.

    This happens at the end of every expansion, I'm pretty sure.

    They figure if they can get people to come play again for a week, maybe they will enjoy it and will resub before the expansion.

    But they did this twice...during the same patch period. 1st right at the beginning of SoO, and 2nd right now (still SoO).

    Probably gonna take a bit to get to EU, usually with things like this don't they also post a blue post about it, so people know it's 100% legit? Might need to wait til then.

    I got nothing in mail but then again i got account frozen for like 4 months. How long do you need to be unsubscribed to be eligible for 7 free days anyway ?

    I have no idea. Check under referrals and rewards. Maybe all frozen accounts are eligible, but only those who are subbed to the newsletter get the info.

    Is it really only 7 days? The previous ones have given 10 days. I might be able to create a sky golem if it were 10.
