The Times offers free WoW game trial

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.
