    I need to find a place to download full version of vanilla WoW and Burning Crusade online (the American client). I got a WOTLK beta key from my friend this week and I wanted to try playing a little again. I have a legitimate active account that has also been upgraded to Burning Crusade on an American server but I lost my CD-ROMS in my move last year. Does Blizzard offer the full game for download online for existing customers? Any other sites?

    Thanks.

    It should be the same thing. I downloaded the trial before, then just needed to input a full version key to upgrade my account and no additional downloads were needed beyond that. An existing account should be able to login without any problems.

    and im pretty sure the trial download is the same as the full game
    if you have to sign up for a trial, do it on some other email adress then just use your real account

    I wish it was that easy. Unfortunately I am in Europe now and all the people here have the European CDs which won't work with my American account. :( Just want to avoid having to buy a brand new game just for the client.

    Hmm, I guess I should try this. Can you upgrade any time or only after 10 days?
