With WoW: The War Within, the new expansion of World of Warcraft is launching soon. Only in the most expensive version of the addon: 30 days of game time. But when is it most worthwhile to spend gold on the WoW token? A fan of the Blizzard MMORPG has figured it out.
What is the thesis of the number nerd? Anyone currently wanting to buy WoW tokens on the EU servers of World of Warcraft – for example, to save the subscription fee of eleven to thirteen euros per month during the initial period of WoW: The War Within – must invest around 397,500 gold pieces. However, user Its_Eek on reddit claims it can be done much cheaper.
The basis of his assessment: 172,000 lines of data collected by the WoW fan over the past nine years (via docs.google.com).
The new trailer for WoW – The War Within:
The data from the period “one month before the launch of an expansion to two months after the launch of an expansion” reveals an interesting commonality among the expansions Legion, Battle for Azeroth, Shadowlands, and Dragonflight.
- Five to six weeks after the launch of an expansion, the gold prices for the WoW token are generally particularly low.
Important: According to Its_Eek, the collected data comes from the US WoW servers. However, the number friend is confident that there will be a comparable cost trend on EU realms.
What causes the price drop? Its_Eek also provides an explanation in the comments for the regular price drop in WoW tokens from the second month of an expansion: Many players use an addon launch as an opportunity to return to Azeroth and invest money to replenish their gold supplies and ease their start into the new adventure.
Due to the increasing number of WoW tokens sold for euros and dollars, there is naturally a larger supply of tokens in the auction house, which drives the gold prices down. By the way, there has been a new restriction on the use of the WoW token for a few months: Blizzard changes the WoW token – Adds payment restrictions for its use
