Alright, so I havfe some questions regarding the Burning Crusade update.

I currently have the free trial with about 8 days remaining. I created a Draenei Hunter with the trial. If the trial expires, do I keep the character I made, and if I cant, can I have the option to change the race to keep still play within my expansion?

also.. I hooked up a credit card to buy standard WoW (20$) but I would rather use my paypal account from now on. how can I use paypal to upgrade to the burning crusade?



Thanks.

Any expansion characters, once the trial expires will lock and be inaccessible until/unless the expansion is applied to the account. It may be possible to purchase a Race Change if you wish to turn your Draenei into a different race but it may be cheaper simply to pick up the Burning Crusade expansion. :)

As already stated you can use Paypal to purchase subscription time but it is not a viable method of payment for the Blizzard Store. If you wish to purchase the expansion online you will need an accepted credit card.
Q u o t e:

Is it allowed to buy a CD key from someone else using paypal if they bought it from blizz?


As Kesandra said you likely could use Paypal to make a purchase from one of the popular online stores that sell it. If you are inquiring about purchasing the expansion from a third party non-retail source I would urge caution. A CD key, used to upgrade the account with the expansion can only be used once. It can not be transferred to another party once it is used.

Good luck, Abide.
