While Blizzard has had the World of Warcraft Remote App out for Android for some time already, it only had remote auction house functions enabled. Depending if you were signed up for the subscription or not, you could do just about anything with the auction house in-game. The app has now been updated with the new guild chat feature.
The Remote App from Blizzard will always remain free but what won’t be free will be the new guild chat feature the update comes with. Currently, it is free for all to use for a limited time, sort of like a trial period. The only difference is that this trial period doesn’t have a definite end date just yet. When it does though, the guild chat feature will only be usable to those players who have signed up for the $2.99 subscription they offer for the remote auction house extra features.

The guild chat feature is exactly as it sounds. You will be able to talk to guild members while they are in-game even though you are not. Instead you’ll be talking (or harassing) them from your Android device. If you already have a subscription for the remote auction house extra features that come with the app, then you are set. If you don’t and you like this new feature where you can bug your guild members pretty much whenever you want, you may just end up dropping the $2.99/month fee when it comes into effect. For now though, it’s free.
