Hello, I recently recruited one of my friends so we could level some toons up together. I sent an invite through the recruit a friend tool just like it said to his email and that is where my job was done. My friend answered his email got the 10 day trial account, he then upgraded his account using his information and created his own battle net account.

However, when we logged on to start leveling we were not linked to each other even though he already upgraded his account to wotlk. Come to find out for some reason i have a blank trial account on my bnet account.........

Has this happened to anyone? We do not share the same first or last name and he created his own account and bnet account through the links and steps provided to him in his email. We don't even have the recruit a friend thing now and he already spent basically 100 bucks upgrading the account that should be linked. Can a Blue please help with this?

I strongly suspect the wrong account (i.e., not the linked one) was upgraded, Hellborne.

I do see a linked account, but it is still a trial. Often what happens is that a new account is setup with the full version instead of upgrading the linked trial.

I'd call Billing on this just as soon as possible to see if they can offer you some alternatives.
