WoW Tokens Coming to the Americas Tuesday, April 7th

UPDATE: Blizzard has sent out a new "feature preview" video to explain the entire WoW Token system, including purchasing, redeeming, selling and more. Check it out below.

Blizzard has announced that the Blizzard Token will begin being sold in the Americas region (North America, Latin America, Australia, and New Zealand) beginning after the weekly update on Tuesday, April 7th. The tokens will sell for $20 USD / $25 AUD. Players will be limited to purchasing ten tokens over 30-days but Blizzard will be assessing that number over time.

At this point, the amount of in-game gold for which tokens will be sold will be 30,000 via a special version of the World of Warcraft Auction House, though the market to determine how much gold each token is worth over time.

Once purchased in game, the tokens become soul bound and can be kept indefinitely until a player chooses to redeem one for a month's subscription time.
