Get around paying the fee! - SilverTears - 06-27-2006
I havent tried this. But some people say it works some doesent. I dont take any credit. If mods/admin dont like this posted up please remove it.
Quote: Ok guys and gals im finally quiting WoW and im going to share my secret to being able to play without having to pay those pesky monthly fees.
I have never told anyone else about this and the only reason im sharing it now is because of me leaving.
Heres how to do it:
1. Cancel your subscription and let your paid for time run out.
2. When your paid time runs out your account is changed from "Active" to "Frozen" and you are unable to log in and play the game.
3. Now go into change subscription and add in your credit card information and just select recurring monthly option.
4. You can now start playing again, after your done playing for the day go back into your account management and click cancel subsciption (your account is put back into "Frozen" status).
Blizzard has a bug in the way that they bill its customers. When you enter your card info it says "Charge pending" but if you cancel your subscription before it goes through it doesnt charge your card at all (unlike everywhere else). I usually go into my account and cancel my subscription after im done playing for the day, however i have let it go 2 days without canceling and still never recieved a charge.
I have been playing since release and using this little trick ever since on two accounts.
Canceling your account everyday has no effect on your characters, the "Frozen" status just means you are unable to log in and play until you update your payment information.
It is a hassle updating and canceling your account everyday but works great for those people who can't stand paying to play a video game they already purchased.

hmm...you would only have to do this on the days you play right? not every single day?

Not sure, I havent tried.

I think this was worked out a while ago with their system, not sure. Either way, the hassle really isn't worth it. It'd be like an annoying daily chore. $15 a month is easy to come up with, even if you don't have a job.

If it does work yeah. When your not playing leave it as frozen (unpaid) and then enter your card info when you want to play for the day (remember to cancel when your done).
Cool idea but is a hassle if it works.

No worrys, if it doesn't work by the time i have to pay i'll probably be addicted enough enough to stop being a cheap sob and pay up. Like i said, after a month or so i'll post if it works or not.
