I'm not giving Blizzard one dollar for BfA. If they make a great next expansion I'll be back for that, that's if they do what they did with Legion and wrap all past expansions into the base subscription. If they don't then I won't be back for the next expansion either.
*raises hand* Why are all these negative people trolling around on a site dedicated to a game they feel is dead or dislike the current expansion of? Maybe turn off the computer, get some exercise, fresh air.. a hobby. Sewing maybe? lolfml
That's nice and all, but when are they gonna add more WoD content?
I've already been testing BFA since August 13th.
Yikes indeed.
Let's try and keep our comments here constructive and civil. No reason to flame or insult others.

Nice to know that they are still sending BETA invites.
So I got the promotion and played through it today. Basically it's the Battle for Lordaeron scenario and the intro quests to Kul'tiras and Zandalar on Trial Characters which then are logged out and locked once you trigger your factions respective achievement for arriving and then you have three days free game time on your own characters. TBH it's not a great way to advertise BfA as you don't actually get to do any of it's content or explore one of it's zones to possibly get hooked on buying to do the rest. At least if you've done the respective rep grinds you can unlock your Allied Races from Legion on the Trial Character.
I really don't get why people are so doomsayers. Blizzard have multiple times done this kind of stuff. "try the new expansion for a few days". It's nothing new. Other games do it too. Just look at steam, They got "try this game for free this weekend" a lot of times. It's just a promotion, every company have promotions from time to time, it doesn't mean they're failing or dying out, that is just how companies do stuff. But i know how some people are in the wow community. It doesn't matter what blizzard do, it's always bad and a sign of the game is dead or dying.Really don't know what is worse, the wow doomsayers or the end of the world doomsayers. Both keep saying it's the end and it's really just getting silly at this point. *employee resigns from blizzard* doomsayers: "ITS A SIGN THAT WOW IS DYING". not like it's normal that people retire/want new jobs or whatever their reason is to quit the job they have now. *blizzard does a promotion* doomsayers: "WOW IS DYING". also not like promotions is a pretty common thing.i'm not defending blizzard at all, I do think they have done a lot of stupid stuff the last couple of years, but i can also see the difference in blizzard %^&*ing up and blizzard just being a company like every other company doing normal company stuff.what's next? Blizzard giving a christmas sale on WoW and that will be a sign of the game dying too? Blizzard making a new game is a sign that the game is dying too?
Yes, Let us not blame the man directing the game, The Game Director if you will, Ion. He is totally not responsible for the direction of the game and the systems implemented. He is the one with the final say on whether to go forward with a feature.Passion about a game doesn't equal no life by the way, just to preempt the inevitable Ion is amazing/get a life poster.
1. There was an official post putting it out there that nothing on their end is giving any weight to the "bleeding subs"-meme. 2. The "they went from X subs to Y number of subs"-information floating around is not official, nor very clever. It was even retracted by the person first spewing it. 3. They've been doing these kinds of promotions since as long as I can remember. Confirmation bias is a strong condition, but people could at least try to be a bit sensible. The vocal crowd hounding forums and other venues to vent their toxicity are only revealing one thing: It's a day ending with Y, and a year starting with the number 2. I'm enjoying BfA less than Legion, but the same thing was true about WoD vs MoP and I still got my money's worth out of WoD from the raiding alone. You win some, you lose some.
To offset the whiny extremism, I have been thoroughly enjoying the expansion, :)
Seems like its not working on eu servers :)
I got the 3 day promotion sent to me. It makes me sad because my computer can no longer play WoW because my video card isn't supported anymore.
