If you haven't played World of Warcraft before and wanted to try the game free, you used to have to play as much as you could within a 10 or 14 day trial period, and then you'd have to buy the full game with a subscription. But with the latest content update "Rage of the Firelands," Blizzard has decided to take a new approach to the trial version of World of Warcraft.

Blizzard has completely gotten rid of the timed 10 and 14 day trial times, but you still have a level 20 limit. You can play the trial version of the game as long as you want all the way up to level 20 before you have to pay-to-play. The new trial version also includes the new option to play as a Blood Elf or a Draenei. My opinion is that Blizzard will attract even more new fans to the game this way since most of us don't like playing with a time restriction.
