I have a friend who has been playing the trial for a few days and so I bought them the edition of WoW that comes with TBC as a gift. My question is, can they use the CD keys from the game to upgrade there trial account to a full version or would they have to make a new account?

I know they are not high level on any of the toons, but it would be nicer to not have to start over again.

Q u o t e:
Yes, your 30 days will be added to your remaining free trial time.

No expansion gives free time, just the basic WoW (what we call Vanilla). You can update immediatly TBC if you already have the Key, no reason to not upgrade.


Correct! More information about upgrading may be found here: http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.html?topicId=9679802928&sid=1&pageNo=1#4

Q u o t e:
Thanks, sorry for replying to an old thread. I used the search button and it was the first one that came up. I thought it would be better to add to the thread than create a new one that has already been discussed. I just needed some clarification. Thanks and sorry again.


That's perfectly fine, Hawzonian. Don't worry about it! You now have the information and will know what to keep an eye out for in the future. :)
