Eight-page guide to MMORPG will also be included this weekend.
Saturday’s edition of The Times newspaper will contain a trial version of Blizzard’s World Of Warcraft.
The disc will offer readers a 14-day free tryout of the original WoW, whilst an eight-page guide to Warcraft will also appear in the paper.
The news was announced this morning in a Times ad underneath a two-page Caitlin Moran editorial entitled My Life As A Bearded Dwarf.
In the article, the columnist recounts her experiences of becoming addicted to Warcraft after agreeing to a trial of the game.
Blizzard’s first expansion pack to WoW, Burning Crusade, was released in January. The franchise has over eight million subscribers worldwide.
