World of Warcraft is getting a sub price increase in several countries, and it couldn't come at a worse time

World of Warcraft is in a precarious situation right now. Its latest patch, 12.0.5, brought with it a slew of major bugs, including one so bad Blizzard has had to temporarily switch off housing in The Americas and Oceania. As the developer-publisher continues to put out the various fires in the MMO, it has somehow deemed that the time is ripe for a pricing adjustment in the UK, Kazakhstan, Georgia, and Turkey. The optics are, naturally, atrocious. The good news, at least, is that the changes won't be coming into effect until June.
