World of Warcraft may be given for free to Warcraft moviegoers
Just be sure you keep your Warcrack addiction in check.
The Warcraft movie is scheduled to release in Summer 2016, and if you’re planning on watching the film, you might want to hold onto your ticket stub as Blizzard might be planning an inevitable tie-in between World of Warcraft and its major motion picture counterpart.
A player survey is being sent out by Blizzard for consideration for a product called The World of Warcraft “Ultimate Movie Edition.” The special edition contains digital copies of World of Warcraft itself and all previously-released expansions, one month of free game time, and an exclusive in-game item. The Ultimate Movie Edition will be free with the purchase of a ticket to see the Warcraft film in theaters.
The special edition of World of Warcraft won’t include a copy of its upcoming Legion expansion, although we’re sure that’s more than just a coincidence considering it’s expected to launch around the time the film premieres.
Hopefully Blizzard follows through with this offer as we think it’d be a great idea to offer a free copy of the game and expansions for moviegoers. We can’t think of a better way to pull in more players after they’ve just finished watching the Warcraft movie.

I suspect it will earn well in Asia. How well it performs in the U.S. seems much more dicey, but I'm personally just holding out hope that it's a competent movie. I believe in Duncan Jones, but he's never done anything quite as big and as risky as this before. But he speaks very confidently about the quality of the finished film.

What...? I play because I enjoy it.
$15 a month tends to be much cheaper spending than a month of spending in most the "f2play" MMOs as well. Last I checked many of those games are still pretty popular and played as well. Not that it matters much though. $15 a month is like skipping a meal of fast food. I wouldn't want WoW to become another one of those "f2play" MMOs if that's what it took.
