Oh. Interesting. I deleted it along with all the other e-mails I got from "Blizzard" talking about my "account". Maybe next time they sent legit emails they should avoid subjects that are clearly reminiscent of scam email titles.

Not like I was going to play WoW either way, not interested in that old fugly MMO, but just sayin'.

I played a few months of beta, bought the game the second it became available for online purchase and got nothing. Bleh.
Oh well its not like I'm itching to get addicted to an MMORPG or something.

Apparently the 30 day timer starts as soon as you redeem the thing. Fucking ridiculous since the thing is 10 GB, I can't even download it until March because I have a capped internet. Who the hell thought having your trial timer count down before you even have the game was a good idea?


The game client can easily be downloaded via other sources than Blizzard's "official" download on the account page. Just google a bit and you'll find something.

If your internet is capped in a way that makes you worry about 10 GB you shouldn't really bother with the game, though. After the initial download you'll have to fetch another couple of GB just for patches and stuff, and you'll end with 15 or 16 GB total.


Actually downloading it isn't a problem, I could get it from school and burn it to some discs or something. Its the utter stupidity of Blizzard that makes me just not give a crap about it.


So if the download isn't the problem since you can circumvent it easily and your capped internet won't impact your ability to play - where's your issue with the game, and what justifies you calling Blizzard "utterly stupid"?

Come on guys, use your heads. The email is legit. Obviously if you're already a WoW subscriber (or perhaps if you purchased it in the past) then you won't get this email. Stop posting "it's a scam" already.

I have never played WoW and I had SC2 beta yet I didn't get an email, so your reasoning isn't entirely accurate.

I don't think it's just for beta participants. People have been posting about this email for days on the Bnet forums, and nobody there mentioned they were in the beta.

I got it. Deleted it because I thought it was spam.

Doesn't matter. I'm too hooked on StarCraft to even think about WoW

In that case I feel even more ripped off.
WoW or no, a free video game is a free video game guys.

You should probably reread his post. He never made any claims about people who never played wow and had SC2 beta. His reasoning is completely unrelated to your anecdotal account.

I already have WoW registered on my Battle.net account (Quit before 3.1 came out), so I guess that's why I didn't get the e-mail.

News just in, things said on the internet aren't necessarily true, especially when they're in the form of anonymous confessions.

I got it, maybe because I played beta when I pre-ordered sc2.

Anyways I thought I was getting a smurf account or something then I read WoW and deleted the email.

Nothing special. It's pretty common for these subscription-based games to offer either a free or discounted first month/half a month to get people hooked. They're just doing their business. Kind of amusing that the e-mail sounds like they're trying to pass it off as some generosity on their part though, haha.

If you click a confession and check its URL you can see a # at the end, for example
http://www.wowdetox.com/view.php?number=52277
If you edit that number to something random between 1 and 52277, the page will most likely come up as a blank, as in no post there. This site is a fake.

Kinda is, since it's 3 times the length of their normal trial.

Well that and it's the full game >.<


Trial accounts can't trade, can't send tells to people, cant use mailbox, cant go past level 20 etc. etc.
