But if a player spends any time interacting with them at the banks and business, these goblins will run but they will happily share their defining philosophy which is ‘Time is money, friend.’
The game developer is capitalizing on the mantra of the goblins by using the same tagline when it introduced the “World of Warcraft” token and gave its estimated 5 million subscribers worldwide a way to buy it with real money, which is a digital manifestation of one month’s worth of game time.
Such game time can actually be sold by gamers to other players through in-game auction houses. Having such feature in “World of Warcraft” effectively enables players to exchange real-world currency for the gold used to pay for goods and services within the game and set the price for gold through the in-game auctions.
The addition of the “World of Warcraft” tokens has made the game’s economy even more complex and tied to that of the real world than ever before. Players have been treating WOW Tokens like the commodity they are. Social media pages of “WOW” actually help monitor the fluctuation in token prices, which help inform players when is a good time to buy or sell them.
