…The future for WoW players might just become that much sweeter with news from Blizzard’s very own Lead Designer - Tom Chilton that the MMORPG could present itself as a free-to-play title from it’s current subscription model. Although no word on if and when this will happen, Chilton stated in a recent interview that he does see this as a possibility.
“At some point, it may not make sense for us to have a subscription fee,” he said. “If another game comes along and blows us away it may not make sense for us to have a subscription fee. Or even further down the line, when we have another MMO out.
“We’re not spending a lot of time thinking about it. It’s not something that’s a reality for us in the near future,” he added.
