Purchasing WoW Tokens
WoW Tokens were initially introduced in 2015 as a real money trading or RMT system during the Warlords of Draenor expansion. Since then, players have ben purchasing WoW Tokens using an in-game gold which allows them to redeem one month subscription or $15 Blizzard account balance. Alternatively, they can also buy using real money and sell it for gold in WoW.
According to Game Rant, the value of a single WoW Token has already peaked at 330,991 by the end of the August. This is contrary to its average value of 100,000 to 150,000 for US servers.
Meanwhile, the EU servers recorded a whopping 436,068 gold. For Taiwan, it spiked up to almost one million gold. On the other hand, Korean servers are not experiencing any price hike for now.
Overabundance of Gold
One of the primary factors attributed to the price surge is the overabundance of gold in the game. Moreover, Blizzard have also new items or sale on their stores.
The prices usually fall when in-gold game demand rises and if there are many people playing WoW. However, the release of popular games such as Diablo 4 and Overwatch 2 can cause a spike in the price since the tokens can be used to buy other Blizzard games.
With the upcoming release of WoW Patch 10.1.7, fans should expect that the price might increase in the following days.
