I just started WoW a few days ago. First I decided to go for 10 days trial. That's acc WOW1 for me. Then after that day I decided to buy the digital download version of classic WoW, which became my WOW2 in my battle.net acc. Then I upgraded it digitally to BC but not yet WotLK yet.

I was playing with my WOW2 only. Which in my perspective, should be seperate from WOW1, isn't it ? Because I did not upgrade the Trial WOW1 into full version. I started the new one. But my friends and people in the game still see my WOW2 character as Trial character. I cannot make group, my friends cannot trade with me. So here the question is, why am I a Trial Character ? Since it is different acc ?

Thanks for any advice.

This looks like it's still a trial for BC, although the standard version looks like it's complete and active.

I'm afraid any Billing questions if you've asked this be upgraded for BC to the full version would need to be handled by our Billing Department. I do see a BC upgrade here on 8/17, but that may take some time to process through.

Q u o t e:
Oh ! I have to activate BC too ? I thought I only got my Classic activated should be enough to free me from Trial.

Does this mean I have to go into Trial status again when I upgrade to WotLK ?

Thank you, Orylia ^ ^ /.


Well, BC and Wrath both have trial options.

This looks like your standard account should be good - it may have just taken some time to work through the system.
