"For gamers who are already interested in the in-game items we offer, such as Pet Store pets and mounts The benefits of having the in-game store are transparent," he said. "We believe that everyone would appreciate being able to make such purchases without having to leave the game. In the end, that's our long-term goal for the system.

The first tests of the in game store will begin in Asian regions. It will offer new varieties of items, including an experience buff (to assist with increasing levels) and an alternate way to get Lesser Charms of Good Fortune.

"We've received a number of requests from players across different areas for things that make them more convenient, like these, and as with some of the new ideas we've been introducing as WoW is evolving, like Pet Store pets, mounts and much more. Your input plays a hugely important part in determining what we add in the games," he said.

"Ultimately it's too early in the process to make any final determinations regarding our plans. But in the meantime, we'd love to have you check out the in-game store when it's launched in the PTR and let us know the feedback you have."Blizzard first announced it was looking into microtransactions for World of Warcraft last week following the discovery of the Enduring Elixir of Wisdom on the game's Public Test Realm.
