My RAF leveled Druid is soo close to being able to go to outland...but wait, the account is for regular WoW, so I tried to upgrade it on the website and I got kicked in the face by error 202. I get this all the freaking time. It's not my browser, I have tried every single browser (even my iphone's safari) and they all say error 202. Please Blizz, fix this error. I got this error when I tried to sign up for the last tournament, so I couldn't enter and I lost any chance of winning the whole thing. So, Blizz, help a poor frostfire mage out please :)

"Error 202" usually indicates that the provided payment method is incompatiable in some way with the selected online purchasing system (in this case, a digital upgrade). This does not mean that the payment method is invalid or in poor standing; rather, that some aspect of it just isn't syncing up with the online transaction.

In these situations, it's sometimes best to first ensure that the account's billing information is up to date. If everything looks solid, then you're welcome—encouraged, in fact—to contact our Billing & Account Services department by phone; our representatives therein will be happy to work with you and assist with your transaction in any way possible. :)

Q u o t e:
since its sunday and I really want to play tonight, can you confirm that if i go out and buy a boxed copy, that it should allow me to upgrade to wotlk barring any other difficults besides the error 202?


Provided that no unforeseen and rare issues occur while inputting your boxed-copy Authentication Key, Taigan, you should be able to ugprade without difficulty. :)

Just a note: You'd be upgrading from a TBC-enabled account, correct? If not—if your account is not yet upgraded to this level—be sure to purchase a TBC client, as well!
