Don’t panic about those WoW Magazine subscription renewal notices

We got some reports through Twitter and the tip line that current subscribers to the World of Warcraft Official Magazine had received notices asking them to resubscribe. Several people, especially those who ordered subscriptions and haven’t yet received their four issues, took this to mean that their subscription had lapsed and that they wouldn’t be receiving any more issues unless they resubscribed. This is not the case! We contacted Andy Salisbury, editor at the mag, and he had this to say:
The email is just a reminder. Those that paid for 1 and 2 year subscriptions will get their 4 and 8 issues (respectively), regardless of timing. We’re not going to hold anyone’s issues hostage or anything of the sort, it’s just meant to let subscribers know about renewal!

So don’t panic. The email was just intended as an “if you like the WoW magazine, resubscribe to it!” notice, not as a notification that you won’t be getting what you paid for. Thanks to Andy for getting back to us so promptly.
