WoW going f2p w/ Veteran status?
We’ve always had this kind of weird limitation where if you’ve never played WoW we let you play as much as you want, albeit in a very restricted Starter Edition account. However, if youhaveever had a subscription--but don’t currently have one--wedon’t even let you log in. In 6.1 we’ll effectively revert lapsed accounts into a Starter Edition “mode”, withall of the same restrictions. The one difference being that your sub-level 20 characters will be able to join a guild if any of your other characters are still in that guild.
The label for this mode internally is “Veteran”, and those are the strings that were datamined, but it’s unlikely to be a term we use to any great degree externally. It will simply be the default state for accounts that don’t currently have an active subscription.
魔兽世界社区经理Bashiok：
对于那些从未体验过魔兽世界的人，我们总是为期设置了各种奇怪的限制但允许大家想玩多久就玩多久，这就是我们的新手账号。然而，如果你之前就已经拥有魔兽世界帐号---但目前又没有续费的话---我们就不会让你登陆游戏了。在6.1补丁中，我们将有效地将那些“流失”的帐号恢复为新手账号，所有的功能限制都一样。唯一的区别就是，你未满20级的角色将能够加入其他角色所在的公会。
这就是我们内部所说的老兵帐号。正如大家从数据库里挖掘出的信息一样，但它还有很大的扩展空间。以后老兵帐号将成为那些没有续费帐号的默认状态。
