Stuck in Trial Mode

#0 - Dec. 8, 2009, 6:10 a.m.

I'm on an account that *was* a trial. I upgraded to full and then bought Burning Crusade. I can now go to Burning Crusade areas, but cannot trade or join guilds, as it says I'm still on trial.

What should I do?

Q u o t e:
Yeah, I just found this in the stickies now... perhaps that should be a bit more prominent, as I'm sure it's surprised many folks who have tried to upgrade their trial accounts...

On the first page when you go to when you log into the account to upgrade it says something like this:

Q u o t e:
Your World of Warcraft Trial ends in 0 day(s).
If you wish to continue the epic adventure, upgrade your account below:
Trial restrictions may remain on the account for up to 72 hours.

After you click the link that says Upgrade Online Right Now! you are taken to another page where this paragraph is in a bright yellow box.

Q u o t e:
NOTE: Most trial restrictions will be removed immediately after payment information is entered for this upgrade, but some restrictions (such as certain in-game chat privileges) will remain in place until payment verification is fully complete. This may take up to 72 hours.

The box is a fairly loud colour of yellow. :)
