World of Warcraft fans were shocked that those who pre-ordered the Deluxe Edition new addition The War Within will receive early access to the addon. Epic Edition costs $90 and also gives pass to the beta version of the add-on and 30 days of game time.
Players counted, that early access for three whole days will give an unfair advantage to Epic Edition buyers – they will be able to level up heroes faster. Criticism also concerns the very practice of early access, which is called a “de facto release” and a “robbery” of those people who want to play on the day of release.
In addition to the Epic Edition, there is a Standard Edition ($50) and a Heroic Edition ($70). In the second case, the kit also includes additional items.
The War Within expansion itself will be released in 2024. It will launch a new trilogy.”Saga of the Soul of the World“, whose epic plot will last 20 years. It is noteworthy that players will be able to unite their characters into squads for common progress.
