A Little World of Warcraft Question.?

Question

Hello. I downloaded WoW and BC clients long time ago and I play on a private server now, but I really want to upgrade to retail. I'm gonna use Pre-Paid GameCards to play the game. But my question is do I need to buy the CDs? because I already have the game installed with the expansion pack, and I thought I'll make a trial account and then upgrade it to a full account using the Pre-Paid GameCard code, does this method work? or are there codes that I need that come with the CDs? Thank you.

Answer 1

No - if you have the clients already, all you need to do is point the clients to the Blizzard servers again instead of a private server. Then connect and patch up, etc. once you activate your account again.

Answer 2

You will either have to Purchase the game from any local business that sells the game (Wal-Mart/Best Buy, etc.) or you can go to the World of Warcraft website (www.worldofwarcraft.com) and upgrade a Trial Account on-line. It will cost the same amount as buying the game from a store but you can do it from home.
