Free month for Diablo 3 or Hearthstone playing f2ps!

EDIT:

After talking to a GM about requirements, here I can give confirmed information about the issue

Important: This is only obtainable for people who did play D3 or HS in the past. People who plan on starting to play either of those now are not eligible for the promotion.


Here are the responses I got from GMs:
You got the WoW2 account because of a promotion that we run at the moment for players who do not play WoW, but for example Hearthstone.

During the 30 days you are able to explore WoW a bit without the restrictions of trial accounts. After the 30 days expire, the WoW2 account gets frozen and can be reactivated by buying game time.

There are no other consequences for you.


(Original message in german who those are able to understand)
Den WoW2 Account hast du im Rahmen einer Promotion Aktion bekommen die wir momentan für die Spieler am laufen haben die bislang zB nur Hearthstone spielen aber kein WoW.

Du kannst in diesen 30 Tagen ein wenig in World of Warcraft reinschnuppern ohne die Einschränkungen der Starter Version zu haben. Wenn die Zeit ausgelaufen ist wird der Account eingefroren und könnte von dir, wenn du möchtest, später durch neue Spielzeit wieder reaktiviert werden.

Auswirkungen hat es ansonsten keine auf dich.

For a battle.net account getting WoW for free it has to fulfill some requirements. The cutoff date is already over, which means that this promo does not have a specific period.

- The b.net account must not include a WoW account, full or trial
(appearently having a only trial account does not matter since I got anyway) - what answers your question regarding frozen full versions of WoW

- It includes either an active full version of D3 or
- It includes a Hearthstone Account with the Hearthsteed achievement and spent a certain amount of money for Hearthstone. Is the amount only of small value, a participation is not guaranteed


(Original message)
Damit ein Battle.net Account WoW kostenlos bekommt müssen einige Voraussetzungen erfüllt sein. Der Stichtag dafür ist schon vorbei, die Aktion hat also in dem Sinne keine dauer.

- Der Bnet Account darf keinen WoW Account haben, auch keine Starterversion - was dann auch deine Frage nach einem Gratismonat für einen eingefrorenen Account beantwortet.

- Hat eine aktive Vollversion von D3 (also nicht gesperrt) oder
- Hat einen Hearthstone Account mit dem Hearthsteed Achievement und hat eine bestimmte Summe an Geld für HS ausgegeben. Ist das nur ein geringer Betrag, ist eine Teilnahme an der Aktion nicht garantiert.

As for f2p means this opens the possibility to get all of the dk achievs/mounts/pets plus Hearthsteed - Item - World of Warcraft and a lot more since the free month includes everything up to the cata content.

So far I can say: achievs, pets and mounts are shared, but you cannot create a dk from the start even though you could on your f2p account.
As my hearthstone is an EU account the free month is for EU realms. I assume the same thing applies to US hearthstones or D3s.

Its a completely new wow account on your bnet. F2ps are still under f2p restrictions on your good ol' trial version of WoW and they are not affected by the free month except for the new achievs, mounts and pets. Its like a "connected" p2p you get for free basically.
Usually in your bnet client you can switch between Trial accounts, PTR and Beta and after getting the free month you can select another WoW client thats under the headline "Live".

Of course you could make some p2p 20/24s for the lolz of it. Since you practically didnt pay for them they run in the vague gray area of "free" to play 8)

Re: Free month for Hearthstone playing f2ps!

As I posted here my f2p account got a free month subscription and I was confused about it.
After talking to a GM I found out, that they currently run a promotion that gives people who only play hearthstone on their b.net account a free month for wow.
My f2p account is not connected to a p2p and I play neither d3 nor sc2, so guess the group that is affected by this promo is pretty small. Also I assume you have to be active to some extend (paying) in hearthstone to be able to receive the free month.

waaait what so...

(there were 2 questions here. I deleted them because I understood finally and I'm dumb.)

So many questions more don't want to make it a wall of text, can you please explain it deeper for the dummies like me?

Thanks in advance.
 
Re: Free month for Hearthstone playing f2ps!

can you open mails then? if trial limits lifted?

You gotta be a bit more specific, dunno what Im supposed to explain.

No its a completely new wow account on your bnet. F2ps are still f2p and they are not affected by the free month except for the new achievs, mounts and pets. Its like a "connected" p2p I got for free basically.

Deep philosophical discussions of how this makes me not a pure f2p anymore are up to the people who want to adress it ;)
 
Re: Free month for Hearthstone playing f2ps!

I think I understand what you're describing, so you get a free month linked p2p account that you can use for a month to grind achievs, mounts, pets etc for your linked f2p toons.

Then when the month is up, you lose access to the p2p account correct, unless you renew sub?

Sounds interesting. Not sure if I would want to do this for my pure f2ps.

Exactly.
I am not sure how much of use I want make of it either. Maybe I will stay within DK achievs range, since I have the bug already on my f2p. Level one character to 55/59, xp lock and then grind the other stuff on DKs without having to go through the starting zone again and again after logging out.

So, Bjorke, you have to play 1 month hearthstone-only and you get free sub ? Ty.

I dont know any specific information about the promotion other than you are supposed to play nohting else but Hearthstone on your b.net account.

But how much time did play hearth for ?
 
Re: Free month for Hearthstone playing f2ps!

Well I am pretty active in Hearthstone. Got every season card back except for one, completed Naxxramas on normal and almost on herioc and spent some money to buy cards.
Maybe you dont need to do as much as me to get the free month. I also dont know whether it is obtainable if you start playing now or if you were supposed to play for a certain amount of time to qualify for it.
I suggest you ask a gm about it and post your information here if you want.
 
Re: Free month for Hearthstone playing f2ps!

But if we play hearthstones only for a whole month, our brains will fall out onto our desc and won't be able to play free WoW... These Blizzard guys ain't as daft as they look!
 
Re: Free month for Hearthstone playing f2ps!

so you could get p2p looms for when they bring in the heirloom tab without paying a dime if anyone is interested
 
Re: Free month for Hearthstone playing f2ps!

i dont get it :S

if im understanding it right you get a free month on a p2p account linked to your f2p account

so in the free month you could farm the head/leg heirlooms and then when they introduce the heirloom tab they should be available on your f2p account as the two accounts are linked
 
Re: Free month for Hearthstone playing f2ps!

EDIT:

I went through the GMs respond again. You dont have to play Hearthstone in particular, but D3 or SC2 players are eligible for the free month as well. The premise is that you just dont pay for WoW but play any other Blizzard game so to speak.
 
Re: Free month for Hearthstone playing f2ps!

Well... seems good , i will have to do this when summer ends or idk , ima play only heartthstone for only 1 month-- no wow or anything else. Then i will give it a true shot.
