Aye, I got my keys at a dutch online store (not sure if I am allowed to link to it. :p ). Basicly you can buy gamecard numbers and authentication keys for wow and wow-btc. They send the stuff through email minutes after paying. Pretty handy.

There's bound to be shops like that for any country. :p

I belive this has all been posted before but here is a simple sulation

1. log in to you main account on the world of warcraft mane page, (this is the account setting)
2. Click the recruit a friend option
3. enter in your e-mail address and other information
4. click the recruit a friend option again and get the referral code
5. logout of your account
6. Click Create an account for the menu options on the Left
7. click Create a new account option
8. enter in the guest account information
9. log in to the game with the new account
10. go back to the wow web page and log in to that account, you will now find an option to upgrade to a full copy, or got to the store and buy a battle chest, and enter the code that way, I have found it cheaper to get the battle chest then upgrading on the site because the battle chest is cheaper then upgrading to a normal account, then upgrading to a BC account. Eather way you will get up and running now and have 10 days to decide how to upgrade you guest account.


The reason you get the guest pass is so you get a free month on your main account.

Hey Skuggomann ('http://www.dual-boxing.com/forums/index.php?page=User&userID=1950'),

The online upgrade system is available now for EU customers, just remember to register the special character in your name ;)

So you can register a trial account and then upgrade that, just remember to use the recruit a friend from one of your accounts and you will be sorted ;)

Just to let you know is that with EU there is a 24-72 hour delay before all the trial restrictions are removed, however the level restrction is lifted.

Thanks all, i knew there had to be a way XD and i think this is cheaper then buying a battlecheast in iceland + a gamecard (over 50$ for 1 GC :S)

Battlechest comes with the 1 free month still for the Basic WoW Install/key Skuggo ;p Create Invite-a-Friend acct, then upgrade with bchest CDkey and you have 40 free days on that account, then after those're up your main acct gets a free month too, and you can install BC immediately after the wow CDkey if you want. Most free-time you can get :p

I'm not fond of online purchases, especially something like a CDkey, so use that at your own risk.

Trial accounts can be invited to groups. They just cant invite anyone themselves who are not in their guild or who does not have them on their friends list.

I think there are restrictions on trading, chatting, and mailing as well.

you're either pro or you're a noob... that's life.. and if you're on a trial account it's definitely noob. :)

Might be the best way, to recruit-a-friend as yourself, then put in a retail key, you get a free month on your main acct and new account that way I think. You can easily buy the keys off sites that sell game cards. I have bought keys and game cards and such from Shattered Crystal in the past, prices are good, very fast service and the guy calls you on the phone to make sure it's really you ordering stuff. (I am not affiliated with them in any way.)
