The WoW brand has been available in World of Warcraft for a few weeks, but some factors have still been unknown. Blizzard now clarifies how exactly the brands behave in-game, what is allowed and what is not.
Only brands of one type
The WoW brand is very popular among players. For some, it is an easy way to quickly obtain gold, for others, it is a convenient option to pay for their subscription without putting down real money. However, to prevent various types of abuse, Blizzard has introduced some rules that restrict trading with the brand.
- A player can purchase a maximum of 10 brands per week for real money.
- Within 24 months, a maximum of 36 WoW brands can be bought and redeemed for gold.
- Players can only have one type of brand in their inventory at a time. If a brand was purchased with gold, they cannot acquire one for real money until the other has been redeemed.
- No player can have more than 10 brands in their inventory at the same time. This limit applies account-wide across characters and servers.
Essentially, the rules do not sound particularly strict, as they are primarily intended to provide protection against abuse. Especially in the case of a hacked account, these restrictions are helpful so that a fraudster cannot extract more capital from their loot than they already have.
