New Battle Chest & Free TBC Upgrade

In case you've missed it:

Haven’t yet ventured beyond the Dark Portal? Beginning today, June 28, players will be able to get both the original World of Warcraft and the game’s first expansion set, The Burning Crusade, for only $19.99 as part of the new digital Battle Chest now available in the online Blizzard Store.

In addition, anyone who owns the original World of Warcraft, regardless of when they purchased the game, will automatically be able to access all of the content and features from The Burning Crusade expansion at no additional cost. It’s time to set forth from Azeroth, adventurer -- Outland awaits!

figures. I litterally just bought 3 more BC boxes last week.

/facepalm

Blizzard is also offering a new starter pack to replace the 14 day trial as well.

I just tried this out myself by adding it to my existing battle.net account. It automatically tied my authenticator to the new game, let me fire it up with the installed addons I had for my main account, the new login account was under the others in the drop down list as well. I started up hoping that I could get a free bank alt toon setup outside my existing accounts, so I could actually use those toons I made. There is a restriction on this, unless it's a bug which I doubt. You can not access the mailbox and do anything with it untill you upgrade the game from the f2p to retail/digital copy, meaning actually paying the extra $15/month. I couldn't even get my Core Hound pet from the mailbox the little minimap notification said I had waiting for me, like I do on all new toons I make.



edit: Ok, just glanced over those links and saw the restrictions they posted. Was unaware of those before trying this out. I was going by what was posted on Curse.com yesterday, which at the time said there were no restrictions other than the level 20 cap :/

Without those restrictions they'd introduce the ultimate disposable low level bot. Probably not what they intended.

No kidding. Rift did the same thing to me and dropped the price + added a nifty flaming horse for RAF accounts literally the week after I bought my other 4 accounts. :/
