Well, currently the idea of Blizzard adding anything other the ability
to pay to change your character's appearence is pure speculation.
Although my trip through the WWW revealed that there is already a
way you can pay to increase your levelling speed in World of Warcraft.
If you use Blizzard's "Recruit-A-Friend" feature to buy a second account,
it then becomes linked with your first account for 90 days. You can
then two-box two characters, one from each account, and gain *triple*
XP while the two characters are grouped and roughly the same level.
It'll end up costing you a fair bit, but apparently people are doing this.

Madness I say, madness! I guess the internet really has found novel ways to
divest sheep from their cash. I wonder what the next gen's definition of
'fun' is going to be *cringe*.
