    Is there a free trial available for the game? I don't want to splash out a bucketload of cash just to find out that i don't like it. I can't seem to find one anywhere.

    you get a months subscriptioon free when you buy the game, but you still need to input a credit card number to register for it


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,943 ✭✭✭Mutant_Fruit


    Damnit. Ah well. I'll probably end up buying it after my exams. I just hope i don't end up regretting it :p

    You wont. Trust me.

    If you have a mate with it then there is a 10 day guest pass he can give you included with the latest release.

    I thought that was only with the collectors edition of the game?

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,506 ✭✭✭Shortstack


    Doesn't say collectors edition on my box but I have the guest pass. If anyone wants the code let me know - you will need game discs though.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,943 ✭✭✭Mutant_Fruit


    Shortstack, i'll take that if possible. I owe you one beer! I could borrow the discs off a friend.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,506 ✭✭✭Shortstack


    Guest pass went to some one already. :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,717 ✭✭✭Praetorian


    If anyone has a guest pass that they aren't using please pm me. I would like to give WOW a chance :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,943 ✭✭✭Mutant_Fruit


    I got there first! Well... i thought i got there first last time, but i didn't get it. Ah well. I live in hope.

    (choose me!) :p

    i have one ....


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 23,276 Mod ✭✭✭✭Kiith


    can i have it?

    i'll do anything, and i mean ANYTHING ;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,432 ✭✭✭vasch_ro


    giving it to mutant fruit sorry !


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,943 ✭✭✭Mutant_Fruit


    If i end up buying the game (which i'm told is very likely :p) and if i get a free pass in it, i'll share the wealth. vasch_ro will get first choice on it, considaring he's giving me his... but if he doesn't want it or if he doesn't want me to give it to a specific person, it'll go to Praetorian or kiith (in that order, depending on whether pretorian has gotten one already).


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,823 ✭✭✭Horsefumbler


    is it possible to use more than one guest pass on your account? I'm using one now but I have another one too i can use


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 23,276 Mod ✭✭✭✭Kiith


    as far as i know, you can only use one free trial per account, but i might be wrong. thats the way it is in most games.


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 23,276 Mod ✭✭✭✭Kiith


    screw it, im (probably) gonna buy the game tomorrow. i should be able to give away the free trial.

    do you still want it praetorian?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,432 ✭✭✭vasch_ro


    if you are going to buy it i saw in Smyths for 44.99 a tenner cheaper than the price i paid in game so shop around!!!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,943 ✭✭✭Mutant_Fruit


    You can get it for £25 delivered (thats sterling) off www.play.com. Works out at about €10 cheaper than smyths.


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 23,276 Mod ✭✭✭✭Kiith


    ah, its €39.99 in gamestop, and since that nearby, i'll just pick it up there. wont be able to play till saturday though.

    any recomendations for a realm? preferably PvP?

    I have an extra unopened copy which i'll sell for.... 30?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,081 ✭✭✭BKtje


    Load of irish lads over on bladefist. There will be a lot of leevel 60's and high levels already tho.

    If u want a newer server (ie handful (think 2 for alliance) of level 60's and other high levels) then try Bloodfeather. A few of us on that.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 694 ✭✭✭brianomc


    Sorry to resurrect an old thread but if anyone wants a 10 day ten pass, it's available to the first person to reply. However u will have to borrow the game discs off a friend.

    P.S. Beware the addictive nature of this game, should come with a government health warning


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 97 ✭✭mouse_busy


    can it have the guest pass?thanks


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 694 ✭✭✭brianomc


    Yeah, PM about to be sent


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3 supergoose


    I also have one, pm me if you want it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,745 ✭✭✭swiss

    I'll buy that off you, assuming it's still unopened and unused.

    I probably shouldn't get into this game, but who needs a social life anyway?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,256 ✭✭✭Molly


    Supergoose i'd very much like the free 10 day pass.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1 Taydus Drax


    hello.. I’m new to this board but I wondering if someone had a spare guest pass coss I have a plan to get one of my mates to get hooked on WoW.... I got my WoW last year so i never got a guest past with it..

    heres my evil plan (muhaha):

    1. Using my ipod as mobile hard drive I copy the full game to his comp with all the latest patchs to save him download time..

    2. I get him a guest pass.

    3. Supply him with items, gold, and help him level.

    4. HE’S HOOKED!!!!!!

    I’ve seen it done many a time..... I had a different mate use my account while I overseas and he got soooo hooked on WoW.. He got his account and now he's my warlock slave!!!!

    : -)

    Sadly I play WoW too much so i can't let this mate use my account and as I have created a way to transport it.

    I have 2 Ipods... an old one 10gig and a new 60gig Video.. and I have MAC WoW on the old Ipod (which is useless for anything else) and my new Ipod for PC WoW... That way even if I’m at a place with a MAC I can play it.... right away.. that’d dedication

    That’s a good tip for hardcore gamers that travel.. use an Ipod.. lol

    Anyway.. yeah if someone could PLEASE (begging) let me have their guest pass...

    PLEASE!!!!!

    /beg

    Paid 39.99 for it in gamestop.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 359 ✭✭Macseamusa


    :eek: i still havent bought wow yet....soon though, but i read the second reply, and it said you had to register a credit card number to create an account.... is this true? i was just planning on buying the 60 day prepaid cards and using them. I don't have a credit card.
    Can someone varify this for me?

    A really dedicated player would buy a second copy so they bump up their auctions on the AH and also giving them the ability to spring a second copy on people and showing them around right there and then.

    On top of this, you would get your own guest pass...

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,657 ✭✭✭OSiriS


    You can download a WoW trial at fileplanet. You'll need someone in the US to get you a trial key fro the site though as it is available to US residents only. Once you have the key it is fine to activate ie with your location and billing set to ireland or wherever.

    There are a few limitations of playing the trial, guys :) First off you can't send mail or trade with people IIRC, and you can only get as high as level 20. There's a few other bits, but I can't remember.

    I played for all of a day before deciding to subscribe (I did buy the game first, then used a friend's guest pass). So then I registered and got my first month free too, giving me a total of 40 days free play if anyone was wondering how that may work out.

    I'm the 50 mage known as Talkor on Draenor. Gimme a shout if you're ever bored :P I'm likely to quit playing soon as i'm getting bored of it. But i can't stop til i reach level 60. No matter how long it takes! I might stoop to bribing my brother to play my char for me...:rolleyes:

    Still have a trial lying around if anyone wants it.


  • Hosted Moderators Posts: 2,094 ✭✭✭halenger


    Just to drag this up. Are these trial codes still working? I gave one to a friend but the CDs he used rejected the key. Are the keys specific to certain sets - like US only keys/EU only keys?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4 Kubak


    Yes, every region has its own guest pass keys


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,046 ✭✭✭Dustaz


    same thing happened to me. Pretty sure it was the same region though.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4 Kubak


    Maybe someone have guest pass to spare (EU)? Contact me with PM
