So? Why are you insisting that Blizzard put Classic behind a paywall? Without insults this time.


Well, here's his thread:

They are doing that anyways, and they still thought it was a good idea to offer it for free.

Was hoping he'd get his answer, but you didn't really say much in there.
It's really nice having a job that allows me to afford an extra $15 a month to play the greatest game of all time.

This thread is actually complaining about even paying $15 once lol

You have to be some kind of wow addict if you think this is a fair price.


Get a job?

The dollar experienced an average inflation rate of 2.28% per year during this period. In other words, $1 in 2005 is equivalent in purchasing power to $1.29 in 2018, a difference of $0.29 over 13 years. The 2005 inflation rate was 3.39%


That means $15/month today is like $11.63/month in 2005.

They're giving you a discount.

And yet some here think Classic should be behind a paywall. For a bunch of anti-blizzard/pserver players, you are not getting your message across.

It costs money to operate additional servers, hire gm's, additional customer service etc. Blizzard was never going to eat these costs.
There has been and was always going to be a sub for classic just like current wow. If you thought differently you must have been dreaming.
Blizzard like any other company are out to make money not lose money.
Oh my. I read some more of this thread and now I see why Thermiss is so angry:

Some of us after over a decade of begging, are more than happy to join in and take a steaming crap on the company that betrayed us.


And by that they mean try to make Blizzard more money and stick it to retail players haha

yes it does, and Blizzard still felt it was wise to offer the game for free. I'm not arguing against the sub fee, I'm okay with that. just trying to find the reason people are foaming at the mouth to lock Classic itself behind a paywall.

I think we all know the real answer to why some people want to add a paywall to Classic. You'll never get them to admit that reason, though.

Is it Holinka??
Speaking of coincidences. The 6 month promo for the ship sub will end as classic releases. "Look at all them resubs."

ahh so you're the one who bought out all the tinfoil?
I am assuming it's bundled with the live sub? I don't care, just pay for it and not log on BFA servers. I would be more upset if it were 15+15$
People have been coming on this forum and referring to the quarterly reports for release dates. Why are they speaking Money?
