Ola Gnomeregan! My forever newbie World of Warcraft characters are back! And it’s free! Thanks to my friend/officemate/seatmate/kumareng GoshLiz for the good news. My 6-year old Wow account is sort of alive.

World of Warcraft or WoW is a massively multiplayer online role-playing game developed and published by Blizzard Entertainment in 2004. Just last month, they released a patch that allows inactive accounts  to log in to the game with few restrictions. Only characters level 20 and below can be accessed for accounts with no game time left. For people like me who can’t allot a couple of hours to play and can only afford occasional peek ingame, this update is a treat. I can now try different characters during those fortunate times that my little one is asleep. And the best part, I don’t have to shell out around $15. Sweeet!
