This has happened to me plenty of times in the past and for the life of me I still don't understand why blizzard does this. After you upgrade your account you no longer have level restrictions. However you still have other restrictions.

Things that cannot be done:
No use of the Auction House
No use of the mail system
No traiding
No talking
No inviting others to join your party.

First off. Why would you not want a new person who is new at the game to be able to talk? If this person is lost or stuck in the game then the only way to find help is outside the game. The only reason why I could understand this being in the game is so gold sellers don't use it for their cause.

This goes the same with using the mail system and Auction house. How is a new character going to be able to see how all of this works?

Yes, I am ranting about the trial account status. Maybe its because I upgraded my account over 72 hours ago and I still have all of these crappy restrictions on my account.

Let see if this will even post or is that yet another trial account no no.

There are many reasons why we have all these restrictions in place, but the most important one is to prevent gold spamming and or any type of exploitation from low level characters.

Unfortunately, the 72 hours wait time period has not passed, your account should have these restrictions removed after tomorrow the 28th. If you continue to see the restrictions after tomorrow, please call Billing and Account services here:
