World of Warcraft Price Hikes for Australian and New Zealand Players
Effective February 7th, Blizzard Entertainment will implement price increases for all World of Warcraft in-game transactions in Australia and New Zealand. This adjustment, attributed to global and regional market fluctuations, affects recurring subscriptions, WoW Tokens, and various other services.
Players with active recurring subscriptions as of February 6th will retain their current rates for a grace period of up to six months. This price adjustment isn't unprecedented; Blizzard has historically modified prices in various regions to reflect economic shifts. However, the US monthly subscription price has remained unchanged at $14.99 since 2004.
The price increases for Australia and New Zealand will see the monthly subscription rise from AUD $19.95 to AUD $23.95 and from NZD $23.99 to NZD $26.99. Annual subscriptions will cap at AUD $249.00 and NZD $280.68 respectively. The WoW Token will increase to AUD $32.00 and NZD $36.00. A detailed breakdown of the new pricing is provided below:
