I upgraded from trial to Full- How Long Until

#0 - June 16, 2010, 5:02 p.m.

Alright. I have old discs with used-keys that I installed the games with, then I started using a trial account and playing a little bit until I found someone to refer me as their friend.

Then I started playing the refer a friend trial thing (They're named WoW2 and WoW1 in the game manager). (This was yesterday)

So I upgraded online last night, around 9PM Pacific time the WoW2 account from the refer a friend, and I just upgraded again this morning to Burning Crusade (and I'll upgrade again to WoTLK in 15 minutes or so once I can check an ATM to see if I have enough left).

The problem is, my character in game is still under trial restrictions, I can't speak in general chat, I can't trade. Will I be able to level past 20? I'm supposed to me my friend online in an hour and we were going to try to get 40+ today. How long will the trial restrictions be on, I thought they were removed when a game was added and a subscription added =(

*EDIT* The RAF account is the one with the level 18 on it and is the one I upgraded the game for.

When an account is upgraded online, some temporary trial restrictions will remain in place until payment for that upgrade is finalized. These restrictions include, but are not limited to:

Level and profession skill caps will be removed right away, though. If it appears those are still "sticking" try logging out of the game client completely, and then logging back in. :)

As another posted noted, these temporary trial restrictions should dissipate within 72 hours of the digital upgrade (give or take!).
