Erm, u need the cdkey to activate your account, and since an online cdkey( buy from blizzard) and the cd cost almost the same, u might as well buy the cd lo. You dont need a credit card to play wow, just buy the reload card from your local game shop/cc. just like reloading your prepaid phone.

To play the expansion, you need to buy the expansion cd OR buy the cdkey online, and download,use your friend cd to install. like i said, an online cdkey and the cd is about the same price, so u might as well get the cd, at least can see all those manual and stuff

BTW the WOW battlechest is selling for 40USD in USA now, you get both ori and expansion cds, and 2 game guides from bradygames (quite useless IMO)

actually u ask ur friend to use (The Invite a Friend) from the manage account page.. then u use the cdkey that is emailed to u for trial.. then u upgrade to Normal to starter pack.. then next subscrition.. u MUST subscribe using credit card or paypal.. then only YOUR friend can get 1 month free for the 1st month u subscribed..u WILL not get a month free

The game usually comes with 1 month free gametime, so when you install and reload 1 month of gametime, you get 2 months to play lah.

Oh, if you want to start off playing as either Blood Elf or Draenei, you need the expansion. It's worth it, and you will have to upgrade to get to 70 later, so might as well wat!

if u follow a guide, like joana horde guide or barkinkopp alliance guide, it will take around 7 game days to get to lvl70

oh my bad lol i tot he ment 7 irl game days....in that case i dont mind to skip 1 week of uni for a lvl 70 @.@" then again....7ig days is better then mine....but i feel with questhelper you dont need to keep alt+tabbing to read the guides.....

din ask you to play 7*24 = 168 hours continuosly
play like 5 hours per day, after 35 days or so you ma reach lvl70 d lo

that time i hardcore, 1 day ply 10hours and more @@

i agree very much to this

when i am playing, i power level myself all the way
realyl dont know alot of things
the story of the game and many more
coz i never read the quest objective at all. just follow guide, preety much regret now

besides, there are still many things i dont knw, such as i only learn how to use macro when i am in SSC fighting FLK
