World of Warcraft is now free up until you reach level 20.

I think I may try this out!

That's cool

But I still have no desire to ever play it

You're a couple months late with your announcement.

Pretty sure this happened last summer...

You're using the word 'now' in a very flexible way.

It's been free for quite a long time now, but it's good for people who want to take their time rather than rush through on a time limit.

Is it last year again?

That's some Kotaku-level shit for a headline, dude.

I know, I had time to try it again since I was sick and now I resubbed...
 
Goddamnit.

This happened like... back in July or something.

I'm not re-subscribing to WoW until the expansion comes out (not that free 20 levels would do me any good, I'm level 85 and epic'd out).

It's actually more like the old demo just extended. You have a bunch of stipulations and things such as not being able to join parties and such.

Ok, but this announcement of his is still late, I almost remember this being available 1-2 years back.

He made a thread title that is extremely misleading and then felt the need to share "news" that is months old. Either this thread is trolling or extremely dumb, I would say criticism on it is valid.

That's great.

Levels 1-20 was announced to be free to play on the 28th of June 2011.

Maybe he time traveled?

Giantbomb is now online...

all three of your definitions suggest a current change in circumstances.

"present time or moment" is a comparative qualification to what happened just before.

Sorry guys, I just saw an ad for it and assumed it was reccent, my bad.

Guys you are missing the real big news here, this guys has a time machine!

As far as I know you can't do anything meaningful with it aside from leveling. I think you're locked out of dungeons and battlegrounds and you can't talk to anyone. Spammers ruin everything. Maybe it's different but that's what it was like when my brother tried it a while ago. It hooked him though and he's played ever since so be weary. Once that game has you, it doesn't let go.

If they would put out a offline single player version of wow, I would gladly pay 150$ for it.

@Bucketdeth: There has always been a trial, but it was very limited in scope, was timed, you could only make it to a very low level, you could not use a lot of the games functionality (AH, in-game mail, etc), and you were restricted to specific zones. This is just the full game with no time limit, basically.

No it's not. It has all the same limitations of the trial, the trial also went to 20. The only difference between the trial, and this is there's no time limit anymore.

Sorry Hizang, this is old news. I'll go ahead and lock this up.
