A new subscription option is now live in the Battle.net shop and it's a big one: a recurring 12-month subscription for $155.88 in the United States and 131.88 euros in Europe.
What games are you looking forward to playing in November?
November is Dragonflight month for World of Warcraft fans, with the latest expansion releasing in just under four weeks.

The new UI sure is something, huh? I figured the talent system would be the biggest headache to come with the prepatch but boy was I wrong. There were a lot of UI-related questions yesterday but as I am someone who can’t move a picture in Word without destroying the entire document I don’t think I’ll be able to effectively tackle them.
My name is Kalcheus and I’m filling in for Mitch today — let’s answer some questions while wondering where the heck the Pet Bar disappeared to.
What do you regret missing out on in World of Warcraft?
Shadowlands Season 4 has ended with patch 10.0, and with it the last chance to pick up some desirable PVP and Mythic+ achievements and rewards -- though not the Carcinized Zerethsteed, which is still available for a few more weeks.
Don’t worry, because the Carcinized Zerethsteed AOTC mount is still available during the Dragonflight pre-patch events
There's been a lot of consternation in the World of Warcraft community that the arrival of patch 10.0 and the end of season 4 would result in the inability to obtain Shadowlands' version of the final raid's Ahead of the Curve mount: the Carcinized Zerethsteed.
How much time do you need to prepare for the Dragonflight pre-patch?
The World of Warcraft team announced yesterday that the pre-expansion activities for Dragonflight will be broken up into two patches: one arriving next week that’ll bring new talent trees and HUD changes, and one arriving with new activities the week of November 15 -- less than two weeks before the release of the expansion.
The Dragonflight pre-patches start arriving the week of October 25
The announcement of the forthcoming end of Shadowlands Season 4 made us pretty confident that the Dragonflight pre-patch (aka patch 10.0) would arrive simultaneously on October 25, and today official word was published confirming its arrival next week with the weekly reset.
Five rare mounts you should try to get before Dragonflight launches
Dragonflight launches on November 28 and with it brand new zones to explore and mounts to collect. Shadowlands isn't over yet, though, and while we wait to go over to the Dragon Isles many players are looking to finish up collecting the mounts from the expansion (or taking advantage of the lull to revisit old expansions for mounts).
What cosmetic ability options would you like added in World of Warcraft?
I'm leveling a new Warlock and since he's based on an old character I've been impatiently waiting to get the green fire quest chain done on him.
