Blizzard and its Marketing

Post by LaZy »

Well I got an email 2day from Blizzard thanking me for supporting SC2 right from the get go. All I did 2 support the game was 2 actually buy it. LOL So they thought that since Im such a nice guy that theyd upgrade my battlenet account with a free downloadable copy of WoW plus a 30 day free subscription.

These guys are good. Really good!

Any1 else got this present for supporting SC2?

If microsoft would ever have done the same thing their gift would have been the infamous blue screen of death :P

hey lazy, the reason because you got it is that they give this to anyone who bought sc2 in the first few days.
they don't give it to people who already used the 10 days trial.
when i made the bnet 2 account and registered all my blizzard games to it, i made sure to activate wow and let the 10 days expire.. so i never get anything from them ever :-)

And I got it as well, I'm able to download World of Warcraft for free (where it costs about €50 in stores) and play it 30 days without any costs.

^^^Cool dude. Id never end up buying it but will definetely have a look since its free :P

Downloading was insane though.....something over 9 gigs total.

Blackadder told me 2 join the sunrider server, since he´s on that 1 also. S would b fun if we all got 2gether on the same server :)

Well I don't even doubt about downloading it or what so ever. Don't have the spare time to be able to play WoW, by that, I'm not interested in it ^^
