Wowhead launches Premium service
Surprise! Well, it was to me, anyway. Wowhead announced on Wednesday that they are launching a new Premium subscription service. Subscriptions cost from $2.50 to $3.33 a month, depending on how many months you subscribe for at a time, and confer the following benefits:
No ads.
No CAPTCHAs when you post comments/forum posts, and an increased character limit on those posts.
Custom avatars, with special badges and borders, for the forums and user pages.
Prioritized placement in the Armory queue for profiler resyncs.
A direct line to Wowhead's developers, in case you want to suggest new features or whatever.
Premium access to the other ZAM sites (ZAM.com, Allakhazam, and WoWInterface).
Malgayne stresses that unlike some sites, non-premium users on Wowhead are not penalized. The site will continue to work just as beautifully as it always has for users that don't pay a dime.
There is a slight exception to this in the profile resync queue feature, although at the moment it's not a practical issue - not enough requests are being sent for the queue to be a factor.
So what do you think? Are you going to fork over a few bucks to become one of the Wowhead elite, or maybe just to show your support for a fantastic site?
