What is the current World of Warcraft subscription price?

World of Warcraft, like Final Fantasy XIV, is one of the longest-running MMORPGs that still requires a subscription to play. This has changed over the years, and WoW does offer a free-to-play model that allows players to progress through the Exile's Reach campaign and quest up to level 20. With a current cap of 60, this should be sufficient for players to decide whether or not to spend their hard-earned cash on a subscription.

Many MMORPGs have come for WoW's crown, with very few being able to hold their own. With many going free-to-play, having a game like WoW that still requires a subscription is a rarity. But, this subscription allows Activision Blizzard to continually put out content in the form of major patches and expansions. So, if one isn't sure, try it out for a month. If you opt to bite the bullet and dive headfirst into Azeroth, there are options to make it hurt your wallet a little less.
