Mobile Armory Guild Chat and Auction House Features Now Free

Mobile Armory Guild Chat and Auction House Features Now Free

It’s now easier than ever to stay in touch with your guildmates and access the World of Warcraft® auction house... wherever you go.

Starting today, all of the features that were previously part of the optional World of Warcraft Remote subscription service are now available for free to all World of Warcraft subscribers. These features include:

  • Remote Guild Chat – Stay in touch with your guildmates on the go using your mobile phone.
  • Remote Auction House – Bid on items, create auctions, and collect gold via your mobile device or through the official World of Warcraft website.

We hope this change will make it easier for players to stay connected to each other and to the game, and we encourage everyone to try out these powerful tools for themselves.

As a reminder, to take full advantage of these features, you’ll need the World of Warcraft Mobile Armory app, available for free for your Android™ device, iPhone®, or iPod® touch. The app also includes a number of other handy tools:

Features:

 Full Character Profiles

  •  3D Viewer
  • Activity Feed
  • Achievements
  • Character Stats

 Remote Auction House

  • Browse Auctions
  • Create Auctions
  • Bid on Items

 Remote Guild Chat

  • Guild & Officers Channels
  • Saved Whisper Conversations
  • Guildmate Presence

 Other Features

To access the web-based Auction House, simply visit www.worldofwarcraft.com, log in with your Battle.net® account, view your character profile, and click the Auctions link on the left-hand menu of the profile page.

If you’re a current World of Warcraft Remote subscriber, you’ll receive an email from Blizzard soon with more information about the end of your subscription. In the meantime, you do not need to take any action.

Now everyone that was paying for it are going to come out the woodwrok demanding their money back. Just appreciate the fact that it is now free for you.

@Ravenblades: A free week is nothing when I paid 2.99 a month for about 3 months? 10$ < 14.99.

@Bank: Nah bro, I'm glad.

@Everyone: Uhh, Madomg wasn't the one complaining here, lol. They were merely pointing out to Bearcatcow that folks that paid for it aren't really going to complain about it because we got a free week of WoW and a L'il XT. I paid for it for awhile (not sure how long), but I'm not mad about it. XD I think Blizzard pretty much covered themselves because they anticipated people complaining. Good on them.

I don't understand why they never make it for Blackberry, when Blackberry is the #1 WORLD selling phone in the world! Yes in America it is not, but overall sales world wide it is #1? So damn frustrating. Really get a clue companies.

@Leiander: BB and rim are closing their companies here in america, plus BB isnt a smart phone, their capabilities are really limited. they're more of a messaging/work phone
