Blizzard grabs desperate measures to make your own game numbers too. Good for the players: WoW- and Hearthstone fans get thick bonuses.
Blizzard has been struggling for years with falling player numbers and that makes it clear especially in quarterly reports. The mouse (Monthly Active Users - Monthly Active Users) will continue to decline. But Blizzard has a brilliant trick to easily double the numbers in some areas: a WoW subscription brings Hearthstone players now more bonuses than just buy these bonuses in Hearthstone directly.
What is it? World of Warcraft players are used to get a few extra goodies when completing a 6-month subscription. Not only do you save a few euros compared to the one-month subscription, but there have been a fairly chic riding for years as a bonus.
Now Blizzard has gripped deeply into the trick box and a whole lot of additional rewards for Hearthstone coupled to the WoW subscription. So if you conclude a 6-month WoW subscription for just under € 65, get the following bonuses in Hearthstone:
- Gasthaus Pass for the current and upcoming extension.
- Battlefield bonuses for the current and upcoming extension.
- 15 card packs of the current expansion.
- 15 card packs of the next extension.
- 30 mercenary packs from mercenary mode.
140 € in Hearthstone - for a 65 € subscription in World of Warcraft
The pure value of these bonuses is completely mistaken. Anyone who actively plays Hearthstone and spends money anyway has a wow-subscription quasi, because there is no better offer. Let's expect this:
- The Gasthaus Pass costs 20 €, which is available for the current and upcoming season, so 40 €.
- The battlefield bonuses cost 10 €, which is also available for the current and upcoming season, so 20 €.
- 15 Current expansion card packs cost 20 €, which is available for the current and upset set, so 40 €.
- The price of the 30 mercenary packs is not yet known. But since they also cost 100 gold, they will probably be just as expensive as normal packs - even these are again 40 €.
- For a WoW subscription, which costs 65 €, you will get an equivalent of 140 € in Hearthstone. That's a price that is so cheap that there was never in Hearthstone - and that's crazy.
Why is that a trick? Basically, the offer is of course a good thing for the individual user. You can hardly come to card packs, battlefield bonuses and innkeeping. However, this offer is also quite awesome and a clear chess train to artificially increase the Mau numbers for the next report.
Because you can not forget: If a player logs in both in World of Warcraft as well as in Hearthstone within a month, he counts as 2 monthly active users.
Therefore, the dates are also exactly that one is stopped in 3 different months to a login:
- Now there are immediately in Hearthstone 15 packs for the current extension United in StormWind (September).
- In October, the mercenary mode and WOW players can unlock the Rat Sarge rat in Hearthstone for your WOW account.
- In December, there's 30 packs (15 from the new extension, 15 for mercenary mode).
The idea behind it is clear: you would like to bring the Hearthstone players to the World of Warcraft and lit the WOW players to dive something in Hearthstone. In addition, a mouse is simply easy 2 mouse over the period of 3 months. This is certainly beautiful in the investors in the next quarterly report.
You can not forget Diablo from the new mercenary mode, which comes to Hearthstone. Maybe the yes is a few Diablo players who look in Hearthstone - and also increase the MAU numbers.

What should you stop it? That must probably know yourself what he considers from this clay train. From a player's point of view, the offer is worthwhile - no matter if you are just a Hearthstone player or both games are patting regularly. Then the equivalent value for a 6-month subscription in WOW, which additionally also gives 60 card packs and about 6 months all desirable bonuses in Hearthstone, just unbeatable. Above all, there is also a mount in WOW through the subscription and another mount after the release of mercenary mode.
What do you think about this action? A cool thing because you benefit from it? Or a pretty cheaper trick to make the number of players?
