hello to all the wow communities,
i have some question about the wow 10 trial offer by wow.
Basically i wan to ask if i'm using wow 10 trial and i intall the game by borrowing the cd from fren, if the 10 days trial finish can i buy a 60days prepaid card to charge in and continue my wow gameplay?

thx to all the people's that reply this threat


P/S sry for my bad english >.<

Nope. After the 10-day trial, you'll need to buy a CD-Key first. That key will be used to activate your account. The CD-Key comes with a 30-days gametime.

Only after CD-key has been used to activate your acount, you can then use the 60 days prepaid card.

Yes, I can personally confirm that you can get the files from anywhere you want but you need to have a valid CD-Key to play after the 10 days trials.

I downloaded the wow installation files after a problem with my cd (from Blizzard's official website, not a warez) but copying it from someone's else computer works also, done it before as well.

What identify your account is the CD-Key and the online account linked to it, files on the computer are not important at all.

Also one thing about creating a game account. You still need a credit card to help verify the account holder details. Note that this is only for verifcation and the card itself will not be billed.

wah.. if no credit card how O.o? because i personally don't own a credit card >.<

den you will need to buy 60 days game card ... bliz want to ensure you stay in the game =D

TBH, I'm not sure. It was something that happened to someone here in LYN and that they had to borrow their parent's card to start the account.

I dunno if they have since change the rules though. Try it out and see if anything strange pops up.

You can actually applied a prepaid credit card / debit card that don't have any income requirement and you can start enjoying wow

no credit card needed to create new account

do u think 7 million player all have credit card meh??

yes, it does... surely confirm, else u phailed to create...

btw its over 10 millions already... no longer 7 millions...

2nd option is game card besides cc...

lol changed ?? last time i create accout without CC and time card de

i get the feeling it depends on whether u're using the 10day free online trial or the guest pass or just buying the game straight and loading without the trial period.

I thought if you buy the game box you don't need credit card? Since you get the CD-Key from the box and now we have prepaid card in the market, not like credit card is needed in any of the process.

When I validate my account from my expired 10days trial account, I dont need any cc or whatsoever. Well I do need the code from the Battlechest tho =p

same here. no credit card details whatsoever. As long as you get the game time card. In addition if u activate your game account on the same day u get your trial.

Trial accounts are a pain since u can't trade with other ppl, can't join guilds and is a real embarassment when u go for instances and ur pug members found out that ur on trial since if u accidentally loot something BoE that is better off with someone else, you can't give it back cos u can't trade. You can't sign guild charters, can't whisper.

Best part is the ten free days trial are considered as a full account game time once u make a full account! the ten days free trial is added on top of your game time. So 30 days free bonus for starter pack plus 60 days game time card plus 10 days free trial = 100 days.

gimme ur email i'll send u an invite into WoW..

icic, if i cr8 a 10 days trial and i buy a battlechest(30days free time) to activate my account, 10+30= 40 , so do the 10days am i able to trade? join guild?

yes you can. you have full privilege like everyone else. but im pretty sure u cant venture into outlands though.

ic, so when i purchase the battlechest box do i need extra 60days card to active my acc in order to play it?

not sure whats inside the battlechest, i bought the game way before expansion. they would probably notate on the box whether they have playtime included or not. usually they are quite careful with that. I remember my pre BC box comes with 2 months free play.
