Former World of Warcraft players will either despair or rejoice at the news that Blizzard has made the game free to access until November 9. "You and your allies are needed back on the front lines," says Blizzard, fingering a pouch that contains what you so desperately need. "This weekend, we're giving all players with inactive World of Warcraft s full access to the game and all of your characters without a subscription."
Players will be able to access all of the game's expansions using the anniversary feature that my crew refers to as 'Chromie time' - basically Chromie is a bronze dragon that appears as a gnome, and can warp you between the various key events in WoW history. The free period ends at 23:59 CET on November 9 or, if you're in the States, at 23:59 PST on November 8.
This is part of a wider push in the runup to the help set you on the path to becoming one.
