Speaking to Videogamer, World of Warcraft game director Tom Chilton says that the Blizzard's MMO could one day become a micro-transaction based title.
"I certainly think it's possible that we could do some kind of micro-transaction stuff. Whether or not World of Warcraft ever goes the direction of, I guess like Anarchy Online has gone the direction of going free-to-play with micro-transactions. Whether we ever shift to a free-to-play model is really too hard to say at this point," he explained.
"Anything I say now could easily five years from now end up seeming like, oh my gosh, that was an incredibly dumb thing to say."
Your thoughts on this, WoWers?

Whoa! If ever Warcraft becomes free to play it's gonna be a bit unfair for those who paid for the monthly subscription. I guess if there would be some benefits for those who are still willing to pay would be be good. I wonder what kind of micro transactions they are planning, would selling warcraft gold be part of the said transactions?
