Surprisingly, yes, there is a way to play for free. However, there are many disadvantages to doing so. The only way to avoid paying is to play on a privately hosted server. Doing this is 100% legal to the best of my knowledge, and there are quite a few private servers hosted for free out there. The main disadvantage is player count. While most official World of Warcraft servers have ~2000 people online at once, private servers are only able to run ~300 players on average. This is due to the rediculous hardware requirements for server(s) required to run a "realm" (game server"). Also, even though many servers can support 200-400 players, very few that I have found have more than 60-120 playing at once, while you would have trouble finding the Blizzard hosted servers with so few players online at any time.

The only way to experience the full WoW experience is by paying (in my humble opinion), however if you wish to simply try the game out, then a private server is a free way to do so.

If you are still interested in playing on a private server, you may find details and instructions as well as a private server IP list on the following site:
