So I've been gone from this game for awhile and I decided to start completely fresh, knowing that a few people knew my account name I decided to just start on a new account, have a friend RAF me. I use my original WoW, BC and Wotlk box to install the game on my computer and upgrade, and was using it to play.

Not too long ago I now just got my account paid for to a full one. Now I wanted to upgrade it so I can be sure to be able to level past 60 and also enter bloodelf areas for leveling.

I go to upgrade account, use my CD key from the box it told me use. And says the key is used. Is this because I registered with another account with this key? Do I really REALLY?! have to pay money to buy the game over again. Please tell me that isn't true, I am not looking forward to paying more money.

To create a new account you are required to purchase a second copy of the game, Ularg. You will need to acquire an unused Authentication Key or you will need to purchase the Direct Online Upgrade.

My apologies for any confusion.

If you create a Battle.net account and merge your World of Warcraft account onto it, you'll be able to choose a new account name and password. For more information, please review the following support article:
