RAF not usable till account upgrade confirmed?

[triCalcifer]

Hey i just wanted to try out the RAF thing..

i just made a free trial account, upgraded it, and then tried to use RAF, but it says im not elligible....!
i read that you have to be in the right contry(done) and you cant use trial accounts.

full trial restrictions dont go off before payment is confirmed right?
i believe i have experienced this before.

First off, I'm not going to explain RAF to you in detail. If you're not going to go and read the faqs and instruction on the official website, then go faq yourself.

Second, did you even use the "invite a friend" option in your account managment options of your main account and invite yourself?

And finally, one day this man walks out of his house to go to
work. He sees this snail on his porch. So he picks it up and chucks it
over his roof, into the back yard. Snail bounces off a rock, cracks its
shell all to hell, and lands in the grass. Snail lies there dying. But
it doesn't die. It eats some grass. Slowly heals. Grows a new shell.
And after a while it can crawl again. One day the snail up and heads
back to the front of the house. Finally, after a year, the little guy
crawls back on the porch. Right then, the man walks out to go to work
and sees this snail again. So he says to it, 'What the hell's your
problem?'


Figure that joke out and you'll figure the streets out.

First off, that was a very negative reply... which i dont understand the reason behind.

this question have not been answered in any other thread.
nor has it been asked.

to answer your questions,
i have read up on the F.A.Q, but it does not give a complete answer so i thought, that perhaps someone have tried
something similair, they could give me an answer.
And no i have not tried this with my main, the reason beeing i wanted the Inviter not be linked to my main
so that i could, should i want to, boost with my main. so i created a new account (adding to the numbers :P)
upgraded it, and tried to use RAF. it didnt work, and i was suspecting it was due to not being fully upgraded
yet. however i was hoping for an answer to this as i am not sure wether or not i just wasted 12$....

and yes i did read the other posts made on the RAF subject, and this is a single concern, as i have
through reading other posts figured out the full concept of RAF.

and btw, that story sux ass :P 1) its not funny 2) silly morale

and yes i am aware that i could have used my main to invite myself, and that account could in turn invite more accounts. this is however not an option for me due to various issues.

Ok, so far we have this much.

You have a main account.

You made a trial account and upgraded it to full.

RAF isn't working for you.

You'll never figure the streets out.

Alrighty now, which account is RAF linked to your new account?

[triCalcifer]

im just not able to use the service, as in inviting my self. it says im not elligible. and im guessing its the trial thing, that has restrictions. so hopefully ill be able to access the service once my payment is confirmed.
however they may be using some sort of IP caller to tell my country of residence. I listed as U.K, but the computer itself is located in denmark. so perhaps this is the issue. i dont know.

and for the streets, you dont need a silly joke to figure it out.
you are most likely to learn the streets on the streets...
which neither of us is attending today.obviously ;)

You cant RAF from a trial account, your account should go off of trial status at the very most in 72hrs (never taken me more than 4hrs). Listing yourself as UK and being in denmark shouldn't be an issues (wooo I love Safri Duo), I was playing a US account from the UK until I moved here.

And the streets are cold and wet with alot of thug wannabes.

Have you ever had your spell pushed back in? I've had my spell pushed back in.

Are all players eligible to use the "Recruit A Friend" service?

Players with a World of Warcraft account from the following countries are able to use the "Recruit A Friend" service: Austria, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, UK, Norway, Sweden, Greece, Ireland, Belgium and Spain. Players from outside of these countries; players with trial accounts, or with full accounts with five referrals from the "Recruit A Friend" service currently pending, are ineligible.

This is taken from the Recruit a Friend F.A.Q (http://eu.blizzard.com/support/article.xml?articleId=30562).

You write that the computer is located in denmark, could that be the answer to your problem?
