Wow Token

After a two week wait, the gametime for gold WoW Token is heading to European World of Warcraft realms this week.

The WoW Token is just the latest place where World of Warcraft and real money collide.

Have you dabbled in the WoW Token exchange? Were you a buyer or a seller? Is 20,000 gold for a token too expensive for you, or totally trivial?

Though it remains against WoW's terms of service to buy gold for cash through third-party sales sites, you can now buy gold directly from Blizzard via the WoW Token.

Questions were a bit light in the comments yesterday, so I’d like to issue a reminder: The Queue is Blizzard Watch’s daily Q&A feature. We take your questions from the comments of the post, and if we’re able, we answer them to the best of our ability. WoW, Hearthstone, whatever — any game, bring it on.

The WoW Token was live on US realms when servers came back up this afternoon, so you can now spend $20 for 30,000 gold — or 30,000 gold for a month of gametime.

Blizzard hasn't released an exact date that the gold-for-gametime WoW Token will be arriving in game — it will be some time after tomorrow's roll-out of patch 6.1.2 — they have announced it will cost $20 USD.

Are you planning on buying gametime for gold in WoW when you get the option?

Much like systems we've seen in other MMOs — EVE Online has PLEX, WildStar has C.R.E.D.D. — the WoW Token is an in-game item that will allow players to exchange gametime for gold.
