World of Warcraft could get micro-transactions
News - Blizzard consider options
Speaking to Videogamer, World of Warcraft game director Tom Chilton says that the Blizzard's MMO could one day become a micro-transaction based title.
"I certainly think it's possible that we could do some kind of micro-transaction stuff. Whether or not World of Warcraft ever goes the direction of, I guess like Anarchy Online has gone the direction of going free-to-play with micro-transactions. Whether we ever shift to a free-to-play model is really too hard to say at this point," he explained.
"Anything I say now could easily five years from now end up seeming like, oh my gosh, that was an incredibly dumb thing to say."
Your thoughts on this, WoWers?
