Yesterday my friend purchased WoW and TBC after a referral from me, and is now playing as a blood elf, yet she still has the trial status.
I think I remember somewhere seeing that it may take up to 48 hours but not only is it usually instant, but she won't be able to exceed level 20 nor can she receive money for skills from me.
Could there be something we missed that is keeping her as a trial?
