Blizzard announced you can now purchase a level 90 character boost in World of Warcraft for $60, confirming the price that leaked out last month . It's the same boost you'll get with a purchase of the latest World of Warcraft expansion, Warlords of Draenor , which Blizzard will sell for $50 (Standard Edition) or $70 (Digital Deluxe Edition).
World of Warcraft lead encounter designer Ion Hazzikostas said that the price isn't trying to maximize profits, but rather trying not to devalue leveling . "If our goal here was to sell as many boosts as possible, we could halve the price or more than that—make it $10 or something,” he said. “And then hardly anyone would ever level a character again.”
Blizzard expects to release Warlords of Draenor on or before December 20, 2014. The Digital Deluxe Edition comes with a mount, pet, Starcraft II portraits, and Diablo III Pennants.
