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
  • Claim Your Gold

 Remote Guild Chat

  • Guild & Officers Channels
  • Saved Whisper Conversations
  • Guildmate Presence
  • Chat Push Notifications

 Other Features

  • Guild Profiles
  • Realm Status
  • Talent Calculator
  • Item Browser

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.

@Oberonne: Blackberry makes up like 1% of the smartphone market now. It's not cost effective to make an app just for BB owners. No offense to BB owners, just a fact.

Can you please make this app support the operating system most HTC phones have?
This would be Brew Mp.
Thanks!

@Gravencen: Quick google search shows all but 3 or so HTC phones run Android. Pretty sure Android is supported, considering I'm running the Armory app on 3 Android devices.

@Wesleysnipes:
Brew MP is a combination of android and windows moble.
Kind sucks how they make all these phone products and over half the apps created world wide don't even work with them.

@Gravencen: Brew is Brew. It's been Brew for years. I only found a couple phones from HTC that run it. (within the last several years anyways) If you're running a device that doesn't run Android, IOS, or Windows Mobile, you're not running a modern smartphone.

Wow...I'm literally speechless....This is the most unselfish thing you've done in a long time....I know its probably to bring in more players but still I must say I'm a little bit proud of you. Keep doing things like this every once in a while. Because when you do something like this it actually makes me want to pay for the subscription because you've done something nice for me.

I want it on my windows phone 7 and soon to be 8 as well. I still don't understand why it's not available for it, I probably would have paid for it when it was available.

I got an email that talked about this and wasn't sure if it was just a hacker trying to get my info, considering is was talking about me getting a free lil XT pet . Anyone else get this?

@Stéalthy:
My wife got the same email. Problem is that both our accounts already have the Lil-XT pet. Would be nice if we could have a choice about which pet we wanted.

It's still a cool move on Blizzard's part, don't get me wrong, just not everyone will be able to make use of the gift for people that already subscribed.
