I bought the game last night, it says on my battle net account that I bought it and my account is linked to the full version YET in-game it says im still a starter account and it is not letting me do anything. WHY IS THIS HAPPENING? I need to level! Please help, somebody! Also I have mail from another character with gold on it and it wont appear in my box but it says I have it.
Why is this happening?
PS the game is not totally done downloading but its in the green.

Please don't post thread titles in all caps. ;)

And yes, as stated above, the entire process can take up to 72 hours to complete. Hang in there, you should be ready to go by the weekend.
