New Battlechest Marked as Trial account

[dancook]

So I setup the first account, it's a trial - attempt to RAF and I can't. So I upgrade to Battlechest, still can't, upgrade to MOP still can't - the game thinks it's still a trial account, internet resources suggest I will have to wait 72 hours.

So I buy a second battlechest from the blizz store, without setting up a trial account first. I login to that, still it thinks that is a trial account. Won't let me use chat, won't let me RAF.

I'm loathed to buy five accounts now then wait 3 days before I contemplate playing on them..

Mine normaley take about 24 hours to get the Trial removed but u can go past the level cap it to stop change backs to move gold/items etc.

I see RAF can be applied to accounts less than 30 days old, I assume if I buy them now I can still RAF them later

can they i did not know this. i had to phone up before when i massed up for them to fix it am not sure if there any other way.

Yes I've read you can do it, I'd just given in to starting them without RAF whilst I wait - but found you can't even group within the first '72' hours of purchase of the game!

I pray for an early release... what a joke :)

I can say that I've never ever been hit with any trial restrictions and I must have done 10 sets of RaFs over the last few years. From what I remember, the moment you accept the invite you're able to input a game key. If you input a game key at that time you will not be restricted as a trial (from all of my experiences). If you wait or log into the account while it's still under trial status then I would assume the system now thinks you're a trial and will treat you as such for as long as it takes to update itself.

To send the invite you need to be in game right? so I bought the game to get in game. Even if it's full, not trial - you get "72 hour" restriction.

I never got as far as being able to send any RAF

Honestly, I forgot that they just moved the whole process from the website to the in-game UI, so I don't know if you can avoid the trial status thing.

I would think you still could avoid it in some way, because I could see people getting pissed that their buddies are stuck at level 20 due to that trial restriction thing. I'll be doing a new set of RaF here soon enough and I guess I'll find out for myself.

I think the level 20 limit doesn't take affect if it's not actually a trial account.

Also I guess trial accounts can accept invites from the master account - but since mine are all flagged trial now, i can't even party them yet :)

When I did RAF on a new account a few months back, I did the whole thing through the website. I purchased the digital download editions of the game, so maybe that got around the "trial period" restrictions.

How long does RAF take to kick in, I set it up last night

wow1 -> wow2
wow1 -> wow3
wow2 -> wow4
wow3 -> wow5

It still doesn't show as working this morning
