WoW Token in EuropeWoW TokenToday in Draenor

The WoW Token will be available for 20 EUR (15 GBP) from the in-game shop. Purchase this if you want to place it on the Auction House and make gold.

The Auction House price will initially be set at 35,000g. This is a region-wide starting price and will automatically fluctuate based on supply and demand. Buy this if you'd like to pay for your game time using gold instead of money.

Check out our guide to the WoW Token for details on how to buy and sell them!

Blizzard

The WoW Token will be going live in the Europe game region on April 21 at approximately 5 p.m. CEST. The WoW Token will be available for 20 EUR (15 GBP) from the in-game Shop, and will be set at a starting price of 35,000 gold in the Auction House across the Europe region. From that point forward, the gold price will automatically fluctuate based on player supply and demand. To start we’ll be limiting the number of Token purchases from the Shop to 10 within a 30-day period, and the limit on Tokens purchased for gold will be set higher—though keep in mind these limits may be adjusted over time. While Tokens will be available immediately from the Shop, please note that there may be a delay before Tokens put up for sale on the Auction House become available for purchase with gold.

We're not all that concerned about how you want to label content after seeing it laid out on paper. There are people out there who are quick to claim that we're pretending "old content" is once again "new content." It's not about old and new. It's about giving players more options and new ways to experience content in World of Warcraft, even if that means creating new systems to experience existing content in different ways.

The common argument, it seems, is that we try to cut corners by "rehashing old content" in order to avoid creating new content. This is a misnomer. Configuring a game system that allows players to experience the dungeons from Wrath of the Lich King and The Burning Crusade at max level, and be appropriately rewarded for it, isn't comparable to designing a new dungeon, especially in terms of art resources -- of which plenty were used to develop Patch 6.2 content.

Timewalking is a new feature. It allows you to access existing content in new and relevant ways. We've not claimed otherwise. If you want to throw a negative label on it, that's up to you. But don't claim that we're pretending this sufficiently absolves us from having to create "new content."

Timewalking also shouldn't give players license to dismiss the actual new content in Tanaan and Hellfire. It's an added feature that we're confident many players will enjoy, as it has the simple goal of providing max-level players with more things to do.

TLDR: It's not very useful to put so much effort into bickering cynically about what content is old or new, and how we're framing that in our patch features list. It'd be a lot more constructive to talk about whether or not new features -- even those that involve existing content -- are fun.
Hey Zar, if you have the time to answer another timewalker question, I'd like to know if the heroics will actually pose a challenge. I just don't want to feel like I'm running say Utgrade Keep and flying past it like I'm in full t10.

It does make me curious though, since we would be going back to these dungeons with our current level 100 skill set, is there potential for one or two new mechanics for certain bosses in these dungeons?Why not scale back the talents and abilities? So if you are playing at level 70, you have only the talents and abilities you would have at level 70?1: When tuning these timewalker dungeons, are you also taking into account that they're already faceroll when you're doing them while leveling even right now? Seriously, have you tried running Arcatraz at its intended level? Bosses usually die in 10 seconds or less. I don't want that to be the kind of experience you get with timewalking.
The item squish and other class changes over the years certainly have had an adverse effect on old dungeons. 2: Is there any chance this feature could be expanded to raids? Most of the raids before WotLK saw very little of the player population doing them because of the number of geared players required was too high for normal people. I'm personally hoping for Ahn'qiraj and Sunwell Plateau to be brought back somehow, even if only briefly.fair enough, but what happened to making new content? in the past, we would get a set of dungeons along with a new patch or raid tier: like ICC or DS. cant new dungeons be made, rather than recycling old ones? I like doing old content but it's still not bringing anything new to the table.@Zarhym - are the time walker dungeons being designed just for level 100 characters, or is the intent for the level 100 people to group with people leveling up through the content now? So e.g. Level 100s would join groups with characters level 70 for BC dungeons, etc?

Comment by ThorsiusFinally!Comment by ChawanFinally, sucks that they set the starting price higher for EU.Comment by stymFinally, sucks that they set the starting price higher for EU.Comment by NulgarGood that it's starting in the evening, so I can be home from work before the price reaches its lowpoint (assuming a curve similar to the one US took)

Also note that this post took the thread ID 247247 :DComment by david22782Super stoked for EU release!

wowtokenprices.com will be supporting the EU region tomorrow.Comment by ChaosJackalI didn't think there's so much more gold on EU than in US. But this seems the only valid reason for the token to start at 35k (unless they're just being mean). In any case, at long last.Comment by PumpkinFeastIs it possible to use the (game time giving) WoW Token much later after the purchase?

Example; I buy 5 game-time WoW Tokens from the AH, go on a leave for 2-3 months or more and when I want to get back, can I use them from my character screen (or do I have to buy a sub, log in and use them from my bags?)

Note; this is a bit different from buying it with gold from the character selection screen, I've seen that everywhere, but I couldn't find this.
Thanks in advance.Comment by Ivan92U can only have 1 WoW Token on your account at a time, so you can either buy or sell only 1 at a time for the reason of not simply stockpilining them on.Hope it getts added to token info so people can know it a bit better.

Also sucks its more expensive in EU especially cuz its not 1 big country but lots of diff smaller ones but it might help some people out , we will find out tommorow ^^ .Comment by Vesuvius79At long last! Would have appreciated it a week ago as I paid for a sub 4 days ago!Comment by lankybritAt long last! Would have appreciated it a week ago as I paid for a sub 4 days ago!Comment by VevyAre you referring to store bought or AH bought tokens? You can have multiple AH-bought tokens in your bag.Comment by Pelontir

No, thanks, I will pay sub as before.Comment by Kaleana2Hopefully those of us who live in Europe but play on American servers will now also be able to buy tokens :-).Comment by NefadarFinally, this is a really good news :)Comment by lankybritAnd the price is 35 gold initially. WTF. No, thanks, I will pay sub as before.Comment by NulgarHopefully those of us who live in Europe but play on American servers will now also be able to buy tokens :-).Comment by InterestExcellent. This is great news!Comment by komard1Ive been waiting for this to happen. The sad thing is that since my EU account is so new the starting price of 35K is a bit out of reach for me. I hope they drop in price fast so that I can keep my game time going.
