Q u o t e:
isnt there WOW 1 then Wow 2BC an then WOW3 wrath of the lich king
There is the standard version of World of Warcraft. That isn't an expansion, it's the game itself.
Burning Crusade is the first expansion. Wrath of the Lich King the second.
If you purchased a retail copy of the Wrath of the Lich King expansion and it did not include a CD key or the CD key was already used, Maximillian, you will need to take it back to the store. That is a defective product and the store should be able to replace it for you. You may need to speak with a supervisor or manager but that is your best course of action.
In order to properly upgrade your account to Wrath of the Lich King you'll need a unique unused key. Having the expansion installed allows WoTLK enabled accounts to properly access that content but the account needs to be properly enabled to have that access.
