My wife got me a new dog a few months later for my birthday that I've come to adore as much as the last, she named it Revynn. As much as I miss our chihuahua (seriously, sweetest dog I've ever known), I wouldn't be able to buy world of warcraft accounts or choose between her and Revynn. Anyway, enough sappy story time. WoW question: Am I wierd in that I have trouble leveling more than one of each class? I've always wanted a Female Troll warrior and a male Dwarf warrior (small, furry blender!), but since I have a Belf warrior at 90 I have no motivation to get my troll past level 15.
The whole point of a trial is to give a taste of the game to players, to see if they'd like it enough to pay for the full thing. When they had sell wow accounts the 10-day trial, they had two problems. First, some people didn't put much time into it and the 10 days expired before they got anywhere; now maybe those are the wrong people for an MMORPG, but still, their trial period ended before they had a chance to do anything.
Second, hardcore players could cap at 60 in 10 days and experience most of Vanilla without paying anything; if they were satisfied (or burnt out) they would just stop there and not subscribe. Making the first 20 levels free allows people to try the game at their own pace, giving the slower players a chance to see more of Azeroth before making their decision, while the faster players can't abuse it and gorge themselves on the content. You've purchased the game + expansions, but don't want to pay a monthly fee. Able to select one of your characters to play and level to 90, no alts (they're not deleted, just inaccessible). Could limit it in other ways, like LFR, but not sure if that's too far or too little.
