The online game from blizzard entertainment "world of warcraft" has announced that it will allow users to sign up and use the game for free, indefinately. There are ofcourse restrictions, you cant earn many coins and you cant join a guild (a group in the game you join). Blizzard say that this will allow new users to enjoy between 10 and 15 hours of gameplay for free before they have to pay anything.
From the terms and conditions published on game websites though it may actually be a bad thing, this is unconfirmed at the moment, there are rumours that if you go for the free option the only way to keep the character you create when you get to the higher levels is to purchase the game and subscribe but also you have to buy the three expansion packs so in the end you could shell out £20+ each...So it may be a bit of a bad deal in the long run.
For one though i will definately be taking them up on this you can practice for free but when you are confident and happy you arent wasting your money you can scrap the free and sign up normally.
Remember to play the game you need to download the software, last time i did this is came in at a whopping 4gb effectively downloading the content of a dvd...EOL
