So desperately Blizzard is trying to increase his number of players

Hearthstone is a free-to-play online digital collectible card game established and published by Blizzard Entertainment. Initially subtitled Heroes of Warcraft, Hearthstone constructs upon the existing tradition of the Warcraft collection by utilizing the very same components, personalities, and antiques. It was very first released for Microsoft Windows and macOS in March 2014, with ports for iOS and also Android releasing later on that year. The game features cross-platform play, allowing players on any sustained gadget to compete with each other, restricted only by geographical region account limits. The game is a turn-based card game in between 2 opponents, making use of created decks of 30 cards together with a chosen hero with a special power. Players use their limited mana crystals to play capabilities or mobilize minions to attack the challenger, with the goal of destroying the opponent's hero. Winning matches as well as finishing quests make in-game gold, rewards in the kind of brand-new cards, as well as other in-game rewards. Players can then purchase packs of brand-new cards with gold or microtransactions to tailor as well as boost their decks. The video game features a number of settings of play, including casual and rated matches, prepared arena battles, and also single-player journeys. New web content for the game entails the enhancement of brand-new card collections and also gameplay, taking the kind of either development packs or adventures that award the player with collectible cards upon conclusion. In comparison to various other games created by Blizzard, Hearthstone was an experimental game developed by a smaller group based upon the recognition of collectible card games at the business. The game was designed to prevent risks of various other electronic collectible card video games by eliminating any type of possible plays from an opponent during a gamer's turn and also by replicating the feel of a physical card game within the game's interface. A lot of the ideas in addition to art possessions were based upon those formerly published in the real world of Warcraft Trading Card Video Game. The video game has been positively evaluated by doubters and has been a success for Blizzard, gaining almost US$ 40 million each month since August 2017. As of November 2018, Blizzard has reported even more than 100 million Hearthstone players. The video game has actually ended up being popular as an esport, with cash money prize tournaments hosted by Blizzard as well as various other coordinators.

Blizzard is taking desperate measures to improve your number of players. Good for players: Wow and Hearthstone fans get huge bonuses.

Blizzard has fought with the fall of the number of players for years and this is particularly evident in quarterly reports. The MAUs (monthly active users) continue to fall. But Blizzard has an ingenious trick to simply duplicate the numbers in some areas: a subscription to Wow now offers Hearthstone players more bonuses than if they simply buy them directly at Hearthstone.

Why is it? The World of Warcraft players are accustomed to obtaining some additional gifts when they hire a 6-month subscription. Not only does it save a few euros compared to a one-month subscription, but there has also been a fairly elegant mount as a bonus for years.

Now Blizzard has deepened her trick bag and joined a lot of additional rewards for Hearthstone to the WOW subscription. So, if you acquire a subscription to WOW of 6 months for little less than € 65, you will receive the following bonuses in Hearthstone:

• Gasthaus-Pass for the current and close expansion.
• Bonuses of the battlefield for the current and close expansion.
• 15 Packages of cards of the current expansion.
• 15 Packs of letters from the next expansion.
• 30 mercenary mode packets.

140 € in Hearthstone - for a subscription of € 65 to World of Warcraft

The value of these bonds is crazy. All those who actively play Hearthstone and spend money there anyway must get a subscription to WOW, because there is no better offer. Let's make mathematics:

• Gasthaus-Pass costs € 20, which is available for the current season and next, that is, € 40.
• Battlefield bonuses cost € 10 and are also available for the current season and upcoming season, so € 20.
• 15 Packages of cards of the current expansion cost € 20, which is available for the current and next set, so € 40.
• The exact price of the 30 mercenary packages is not yet known. But as they also cost 100 gold, they will probably be as expensive as normal packets, that is, again € 40.
• By a subscription to WOW that costs € 65, you get the equivalent of € 140 in Hearthstone. It is such a cheap price that it never existed in Hearthstone, and that is crazy.

The subscription to WOW brings really large bonuses, but in Hearthstone.

Why is that a trick? Basically, the offer is, of course, something good for the individual user. You can hardly get card packages, battlefield bonuses and posted passes at a low price. However, this offer is also ingeniously designed and is a clear movement to artificially increase the MAU numbers for the next report.

Because you should not forget: If a player starts session in both Warcraft and Hearthstone in a month, he will count as 2 monthly active users.

That is why dates are exactly for you to be asked to log in to 3 different months:

• Hearthstone now has 15 packages for the last unified expansion in Stormwind (September).
• Mercenary mode begins in October and WOW players can unlock the sarge rat for your Wow account in Hearthstone.
• In December there will be another 30 packages (15 of the new expansion, 15 for the mercenary mode).

The idea behind this is clear: you want to bring the players from Hearthstone to World of Warcraft and attract Wow players to immerse themselves in Hearthstone. In addition, you can easily convert a Mau into 2 MAU for a period of 3 months. That will undoubtedly look good with investors in the next quarterly report.

Do not forget Devil in the new Mercenary mode that arrives at Hearthstone. Maybe it caught some devil players who then investigate Hearthstone, and also increase the MAU numbers.

You can find more news about Blizzard, Hearthstone and Wow here:

• Nobody understands the new mode of Hearthstone, but at least this devil
• Wow strip of opening cord - Change without restrictions
• Grump Wednesday: I do not win enough money to pay Hearthstone

What to do with that? All should know for themselves what they think of this movement. From a player's point of view, the offer is worth it, regardless of whether you are only a Hearthstone player or if you play both games regularly. Then, the equivalent of a 6-month subscription in Wow, which also grants 60 card packages and about 6 months of all the desirable bonuses in Hearthstone, is simply unbeatable. Above all, a mount in Wow attracts the subscription and another frame after the launch of the mercenary mode. What do you think of this action? Something great because you also benefit? Or a pretty cheap trick to make the player count?
