WoW Classic in chaos as modern’s most controversial item arrives

The WoW Classic community is practically falling over itself right now to deliver hot takes and memes in light of the news that Blizzard is introducing its real-money WoW Token to World of Warcraft Classic. The WoW Token is an item that awards game time, effectively giving you a 30-day subscription when WoW Classic Gold used, and it can be sold via the in-game auction house for gold in the MMORPG. Unlike its modern companion, you wont be able to use your WoW Classic Tokens to buy Diablo 4, however.

The WoW Token has long been a point of contention among the MMOs playerbase. Because you can purchase them for real money and then sell them in-game to players that want to exchange their in-game gold for free game time, it effectively allows a person to buy as much in-game gold as they like for real money, functioning as an officially-sanctioned form of RMT, or real-money transaction.

To say that this news has gone down badly among WoW Classics most ardent supporters would be an.

understatement. The WoW Classic Reddit page has become a hotbed of activity, despair, and jokes as the moderators have overturned one of its primary forum rules.

Since the sub came out weve upheld a rule against discussion of private servers and cheats on the basis of a good faith that Blizzard would be running Classic to a certain standard, the announcement reads. The standard has been pretty f**king low for a very long time but its clear today that the mask of integrity has totally fallen from the face of greed. As such feel free to discuss other options to play all versions of Classic in a way that has a higher integrity than what Blizzard has to offer.
