In World of Warcraft, the Coin Age begins tomorrow, April 7th, at least in the USA. Starting tomorrow evening, the coin will be in circulation in America.
It will cost 20 US Dollars to purchase such a coin from Blizzard. It can then be sold at the auction house for gold. Those who buy the coin there for gold can redeem it for 30 days of playtime. They have announced that the price will be aligned with those set by gold sellers. And they have indeed done so.
In the USA, the coin will start at 30,000 gold. A price that we find extremely low. It will later be regulated based on supply and demand. It remains to be seen whether the price will stay this low.
When the coin will come to us in Europe is still unknown. First, it is to be tested in the World of Warcraft region of North America/South America/Oceania. Whether the coin will also start at 30,000 gold in Europe is also unclear. Blizzard announces that the price will be adjusted to regional conditions. Starting tomorrow evening at 7:00 PM our time, the spectacle in WoW will begin.
In this article, we will go into more details of the system, such as how players CANNOT set the price themselves, but rather that the rate is “fixed”: Account can be reactivated with gold; Blizzard is aligning prices for the coin with gold sellers
