In recent days, Blizzard has announced restrictions for the World of Warcraft Token. Indeed, players will no longer be able to purchase a token with gold if they have not spent real money to purchase and consume at least 30 days of game time since 2017. However, this might result in a sharp drop in the price of the token in the coming weeks.
Last September, the WoW token reached a record price of one million gold coins in Taiwan. As explained Zumankind, Blizzard then suspended sales for several days, before implementing a new policy requiring accounts to have purchased at least 30 days of game time and have more than 30 days of game time to be able to purchase tokens for gold. These new measures are intended to combat bots and gold farming, practices that are extremely widespread in this region of the globe.
As you can see in the graph below, the WoW token peaked shortly following September 20 (1.2 million), before losing half of its value. As I write these lines, the token is being exchanged for 515,000 gold in Taiwan, which is already much more reasonable. We will still note that in Taiwan, the price is yo-yoing since it was 130K in February 2023.
If we analyze the evolution of the price of the WoW token in Europe, we see that it suddenly increased in price following Blizzard’s announcement, reaching more than 425,000 gold coins on November 18. In the hours that followed, the token returned to the price of recent days, below 390K.
However, the situation might evolve as in Taiwan, with a drop in prices in the coming weeks. This would not displease some players. However, nothing is set in stone and Europe might follow a different curve. It will be interesting to follow how the situation develops!
