Do I Need a Credit Card?

#0 - July 15, 2009, 8:35 p.m.

i've got the 10-day trial of WoW and i'm having enough fun i want to buy the $20 classic wow game from a store, because my friend bought it and got 30 days of Full WoW free =D
But i need to know....... Do i need a credit card to go from Trial acc -> Full acc?
for Example :
1 I buy WoW full version ( classic ) in a store ( not online ) and bring it home
2 i install game and activate the CD key with my WoW trial account <i then continue creating my account>
3 i get to the payment part of the sign-up
At step 3 is where my Question is...........
it should ask my what payment type i want to use
my parents credit card got hacked b4 from the internet now they won't use it again online >.>
so is there any way i can sign up my WoW trial -> full account with NO Credit Card

-> If i NEVER use a Credit Card can i still have full WoW ? ( if i buy The full game in-stores )
-> By NEVER i don't mean enter info and cancel i mean never submit any credit card info to blizzard at all

P.S. Good Job Blizzard your 10 day trial got me addicted =D

Welcome to the World of Warcraft family, Thunderpie! I am happy to hear you are enjoying the game so. =)

Q u o t e:

Do i need a credit card to go from Trial acc -> Full acc?

No. If you already have a trial account established you would simply upgrade the account with the retail copy of the game you purchased. From what you have described, it sounds as though you are trying to create a brand new account. If my assessment is correct, then yes, you will need an acceptable form of payment to get the account created successfully.

Keep in mind World of Warcraft is a subscription based game. While 30 days is included with the purchase of classic World of Warcraft, you must use one of the following payment methods below to continue playing the game:

credit or debit card
60 day Prepaid Game Card
PhoneBill
PayPal
Digital Game Time purchased through the online store

It appears the best option in your case may be purchasing a 60 day Prepaid Game Card, typically available through any retailer that sells World of Warcraft.

Have fun!
