At this year's BlizzCon, Future Publishing will unveil a new magazine devoted entirely to the MMORPG World of Warcraft. The subscription-only magazine will be available in English, French, German, and Spanish.
You'll be able to purchase the magazine through your World of Warcraft account management page or worldofwarcraftmagazine.com. The will go live on Friday at 12 PM EST. If you're attending BlizzCon, you can sign up for a subscription at Future's booth and get a plush green murloc stuffed animal. One-year subscriptions cost $39.95 in the US and 34.95 EUR or 29.95 GBP in Europe, while two-year subscriptions are $69.95 in the US, 61.25 EUR or 52.50 GBP. Pricing's a bit steep, considering that you'll be getting only four issues a year. However, Ars Technica's article on the new mag points out that the magazine will be free of advertisements. The first, 148-page issue centers on the game's fifth-year anniversary and discusses how the game has evolved over time. It also features Ulduar boss strategies from the world's top guilds. |
