| How To Buy A Friend Game Time Wow |
Step 1: Accepting Your Fate (as a Funding Source)
Let's face it, you're basically enabling an addiction at this point. But hey, a happy friend is a friend less likely to drag you into PvP practice matches at 3 AM, right? Consider this your good deed for the week.
Tip: Watch for summary phrases — they give the gist.
Pro Tip: If you're feeling particularly generous (or guilt-stricken), surprise them with the game time! Just make sure they haven't accidentally cancelled their subscription first – nobody wants that awkward "Whoops, you already paid" moment.
Tip: Read once for flow, once for detail.
Step 2: The Glorious Battle.net Shop Awaits
Now, for the technical mumbo jumbo. Head over to the Battle.net shop – it's like a virtual armory for all things Blizzard. Important Note: Make sure you're on the right version! WoW has different regions, so if your friend adventures in Europe while you're chilling on the US servers, you'll need the European shop to avoid any region-lock blues.
QuickTip: Look for lists — they simplify complex points.
Step 3: Don't Be Fooled by the Subscription Trap
There be monsters here! You'll see fancy options for subscriptions, which automatically renew and take money out of your account every month. This might seem convenient, but unless you want to be the permanent bank of Azeroth, avoid the subscriptions. We're on a gift-giving mission, not a long-term financial commitment.
Tip: Focus on sections most relevant to you.

What you want is glorious Game Time. It's a one-time purchase that grants your friend a set amount of playtime. They come in 60-day chunks, which is like the gaming equivalent of a "friendcation" – plenty of time for adventures without any subscription surprises.
Step 4: The Grand Gifting (Optional, But Hilarious)
Here's where you can get creative. The standard method is to simply buy the game time and send it to your friend's Battle.net account. But if you're feeling fancy, consider these options:
- Print a Dramatic Certificate: Design a certificate declaring them "Official Game Time Granter" and present it with a flourish.
- Craft a WoW-Themed Gift Basket: Throw in some gummy bears (for sustenance during raids), a coffee mug emblazoned with their favorite character, and of course, the game time code.
- Stage an In-Game Intervention: If you play WoW too, gather your friends and surprise them with a party announcing their "rehabilitation" back into the game (with your generous help, of course).
Remember: The most important thing is to have fun with it and let your friend know you appreciate their love for the game (even if you secretly think they should see some sunlight occasionally).
So there you have it! With these handy tips, you'll be a WoW-gifting pro in no time. Now get out there and get your friend back to vanquishing foes (or at least finish that crafting project they've been putting off for months). Remember, a friend in need of game time is a friend worth keeping!
