Downloading Warcraft

I have a WoW account, but my CDs are at home. I recently had to wipe my computer and now I want to play some WoW.

I simply figured I would download the ten day trial but I was reading some tiny font about a CD key and remember "oh noes". But it shouldn't give two shits right? That's only if I were to continue the trial account I would theoretically be signing up for right?

It's not going to lock me out after ten days is it?

    Yeah the cd key with the game is the one you need to activate your account, not the install. So you're good to go.

    I just recently reformatted and upgraded my PC to vista. I tried to download the test client and use my good standing, active account. It wouldn't work for me. Said I wasn't eligible for the trail. Luckily I had my disks and it only took a few hours to patch up to 2.3.2. I hope you have better luck

    I'm sometimes grumpy and random, feel free to overlook the strange man in the corner.

    Simply log in on the WoW front webpage with your account, and you'll find links to download both the "classic" and BC clients. You don't have to sign up for any trial account.

    Humor can be dissected as a frog can, but dies in the process.
