Shattered Crystal seem to offer them. I'm not sure if they just have a ton of copies of the game and just open and send you the keys or what.

They are often mentioned for Eve time, and I've not had problems with them.

why not just buy the game from wow europe? I did that for my version when I first upgraded from the trial account I think.

Ahh didn't see that! It's £9.99, any idea if i can buy and how much TBC is if i buy that through the account managment? I take it i still get 30 free days with this right?

I am not sure how much TBC is, but I am sure that you can do it.

You do get the 30 days free, unless they have changed it (which I am 99 percent positive that they have not). You probably don't need the burning crusade right away though, unless you plan on playing either a Blood Elf or a Dranei, or plan on the jewel cradfting profession. Obviously though, you will need it when you hit 60 either way, and with wrath out in a month you may as well just buy now.

Ok awesome

Also is there an add on that tells you where to go once you accept quests?

yes, the WoW site is almost completely and utterly unclear with regards to being able to upgrade to a full account through the website itself. Everything talks about getting the free trial then buying a full retail key from your local store, which is what I had planned on doing just to find I could buy it through the account management section. You can go ahead after and upgrade to burning crusade aswell or you get a 10 day BC trial option once a full account.

ONly thing thats really irritating, no matter which way you go is that it takes up to 72 hours(and has taken over that for me) for the trial restrictions to be lifted, which is, bullcrap basically. I assume its to stop gold sellers getting trial accounts, passing them the money and passing it off again. As soon as you upgrade the level limit goes but you can't trade of use the AH. Buy the 20's without selling herbs/leathers/cloth on the AH its almost impossible to afford new skills. Just a bit of a pain.

I'm assuming that you get 30 days free, once thats up if you upgrade to BC you get another 30 days free. I'm not sure if you upgrade if you lose some of the first free 30 days or not. Will have to see I guess.

The trial restrictions took a few hours to be lifted for me, I've bought 2 accounts directly from the WoW website, no problem at all.
