The Times gives away free WoW trial accounts - Image 1If you're still a bit skeptical to get into the World of Warcraft (WoW) wagon then this might be the best time to join, or more appropriately, to try to join. UK-based newspaper The Times will be giving away free copies of Blizzard Entertainment's MMO video game by inserting discs in its edition this Saturday.

Take note though that these copies are just for a 14-day trial of the original WoW. Aside from the discs, an eight-page crash course for the said video game will also be included. This move, apparently, was brought about when one of the newspaper's journalists Caitlin Moran agreed to a trial version and and eventually got hooked to the game.

The eight-page guide can be found alongside Moran's editorial "My Life As A Bearded Dwarf." It's a good thing these mainstream journalists are finally seeing video games as a legitimate form of art and entertainment, and not just a past time for those who have nothing else to do with their lives.

A little side note though, it would be remembered that a handful of WoW players complained a couple of months ago about gold spamming issues, even saying that Blizzard is working with these farmers. According to the players, all of these started to boom when the company began offering free trial accounts.
