Still, Future has chosen a difficult business model for the new publication. Each issue is expected to be wow account, with precisely zero ads, which means that the title is shut off from traditional magazine revenues, and therefore will rely entirely on subscription fees. On one hand, that same dynamic also means that it should be shielded from the vagaries of the advertising market, something that is currently taking down one magazine after another.
According to Future, World of Warcraft: The magazine will be offered for subscription only--no single copy sales with U.S. readers paying $40 annually, those in continental Europe 35 euros and the British 30 pounds. The magazine will be published in English, French, German, and Spanish. Wow gold Kaufen
"The magazine market is suffering a rough time," said John Gower, the international director of wow account, the title's publisher, "but only those magazines that are based on advertising models. We've seen our magazines increasing across the board, especially the hobbyist" titles.
That may be true, but in order to support what the publishers say will be a costly blend of commissioned art, in-depth articles written by veteran journalists and behind-the-scenes access, Future will have to convince a great deal of its players that it's worth their while to pony up $40 on top of their wow account monthly game subscription fees, even as those same players can find an enormous amount of WoW-related information online. And that proposition is clearly not for everyone, even some of the most passionate wow account.
