14 DAY TRIAL // Eric Dodds, a lead designer working on Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft, says that his company has no plans to ever implement a true paywall in the game and will always allow players who are ready to invest time to access all available content.
The experience is built around cards and the use of real-world money will allow gamers who are willing to pay, for time or competitive reasons, to use money in order to receive a faster rate of progress.
The developer tells VG247 that, “the kind of person who wants to come in and never put a dime in and basically accumulate the cards, try the various classes, find ways to be competitive – that’s a perfectly viable strategy in Hearthstone. You’re never going to hit a paywall that requires you to put more money in to keep playing.”
Using currency will allow gamers to unlock cards faster and get more chances to engage in Player versus Player matches.
Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft is at the moment in beta stage.
