In a post to the official WoW Classic forums, Blizzard described their original motives for the fee of $35. "This service of providing a player with the ability to play a second character from another game--is first for us," the blog post reads buy WoW WoTLK Classic Gold. "Our original concept for the value of this service was largely in the way that we cost various other options and services. We want those who decide to play Classic Era realms to feel as if their decision comes with the promise of being able to create a relationship with Warcraft and guilds with other players that they are able to count on.
