World of Warcraft continues to expand its real money shop offers, with developer Blizzard now selling home exteriors for $40.
Housing is WoW’s latest and greatest new feature, having arrived in full with the MMO’s recent Midnight expansion (though players who preordered Midnight got early access to parts of housing late last year). Blizzard first started selling housing items for real money back in February, with a shockingly-low-priced set of plushies that could be used for home decorating.
Those low prices didn’t last long, however, because in March, Blizzard began selling individual trees for 750 Hearthsteel (or $7.50) alongside an expensive bundle. Somewhat predictably, player outrage saw Blizzard quickly cut prices.
Now, the sticker shock continues, as Blizzard is selling a bundle of two, treehouse-themed housing exteriors for $40. Another new bundle, priced at $75, includes the new exterior options and a large batch of decor items. Both bundles are the most expensive housing microtransactions on the shop to date, and there doesn’t seem to be a way to just buy one of the exteriors seperately.
