Or maybe they had their best selling expansion ever and decided why not yank the utter one more time?



This.

They already topped opening day sales records, why not go for the gold and rake in as many subs as they can before the end of the quarter.

You can only play one level i.e. to 81. You get to see one zone, then you have to buy the xpac. Brilliant move. Read the FAQ people.

I'll bash Blizzard for poor design decisions, but I've never seen them make a dumb business decision and this move isn't the first.

I have every confidence they know exactly what they are doing in this regard.

I'll go back to what I always say about Blizz, they print money faster than the Treasury.

Glad I saw this thread.

I stopped playing about 3 months ago or so and wasnt sure whether or not I wanted to buy the expansion and jump right in. This is good for me. Going to check it out now.

Another reason might be this:

I work in education and we are just going on x-mas vacation break. Off for 3 weeks. Perfect timing.
