I've got a related query (and I did check the account page, but couldn't see anything).

Money is a bit tight at the moment, so I a) don't have a stellar machine and b) can't afford 3 more full copies of WoW. That being said I have a few days of holiday coming up and am curious to see if I can run 5 WoWs without blowing up my computer. Logical way would be 3x trial accounts through Recuit a Friend.

What I wasn't sure about it if there is a time limit on the switch from trial -> full regarding getting the 30 days free for the main (I know I have to set up the trial 1 month from the referral, but wasn't sure about any limit on then upgrading it to full.

My idea was to get 3 trials set up now whilst I have time to play them, but it would be a good few months before I would be able to upgrade them to full copies, so I'm wondering if anyone knows a) if I'd still get the 30 days free (90 days total) and b) if the trial accounts will actually stay there that long. I know full accounts remain almost indefinately, but I didn't know if trial accounts get deleted after a period of non-conversion.
a) No.

b) No. It's a 10-day trial...well, at least here in Australia. It'll definitely 10 days here, but thinking on it again, I can't say I actually know whether the account will simply lock or actually close down. Presumably it must, at some point, close down.
