The World of Warcraft is quite easily the most popular PC game right now, and for good reason. The 10 Million Plus WOW population has been eagerly awaiting the Lich King expansion, but there is a new twist to the tale. Some lucky few who got thier hands on the Lich King CD Key are now selling them off on Ebay. This isn’t the first time that a gamer has sold his soul to the devil and stood in line for the moolah. Read below:
The record price paid on eBay’s UK site so far is GBP 513 - that’s EUR 652, or an astonishing USD 1,021.
This may have been a one-off, but keys are regularly changing hands for between GBP 150 and GBP 300.
Beta keys obtained in the normal manner, by opting in to the test on the official website, cannot be sold - they’re attached to the account of the player who registered.
But the keys given out on scratch-cards at the Blizzard Worwide Invitational event in Paris in June, and BlizzCon 2007 in Los Angeles last August, have no such restrictions. It’s these that are changing hands for serious cash. Originally billed as beta keys “for an upcoming Blizzard title”, Blizzard only announced that these would work for the Lich King beta once it had started.
