WoW Tokens Now Available

30 days of game time for the low price of $20 or 30,000 gold.

Starting today players can buy game time with gold right from Blizzard using the new WoW Token.

The Token is available only in the Americas region(North America, Latin America, Australia, and New Zealand). Players can buy it for $20 USD/$25 AUD from the in-game shop and then list in on the Auction House. Alternatively, at the start of the program, Tokens will also be available in the auction house at a starting price of 30,000 gold.

Unlike regular items tokens will be sold depending on the supply and demand. If the seller sees the price offered is acceptable, the Token will be listed for sale, with the amount of gold sent to his inbox. Meanwhile buyers will buy out the tokens as there won't be a bidding process.

Tokens can be redeemed for a 30 day period, Blizzard also limited the number of tokens that can be purchased.

"To start, we'll be limiting the number of Token purchases to 10 within a 30-day period, but this limit may be adjusted over time," the developer said on its website. "While Tokens will be available immediately from the Shop, please note that there may be a delay before Tokens put up for sale on the Auction House become available for purchase with gold."

Once a Token has been sold, it becomes Soulbound, preventing it from being sold again. This is presumably done in order to prevent players from taking advantage of the marketplace by buying low and selling high.
