Iako World of Warcraft jako dugo vremena uspešno funkcioniše i bez mikro transakcija u okviru igre, Blizzard u poslednje vreme razmatra mogućnost uvođenja u igru ovog među fanovima često vrlo nepopularnog metoda za napredak u igri.
Ovu vest je potvrdio Blizzardov community manager koji je na Battle.net forumu napisao:
“We are currently exploring the possibility of adding a way for players in certain regions to make purchases directly within the game. As part of this process, elements related to this will be appearing on the PTR. We’ll provide additional updates on our plans as development progresses.”
