I tossed my bro this link. He's highly resistant to this type of crack since he plays about 4 other games -__-;;

You'll get a corrupted file unless you use WinZip to extract it. Stupid, I know.
Just d/l WinZip and it'll be okay.
Lvl 11 now.

do you have to explicitly cancel this trial or will it just expire? i have no intetnions to keep playing this and do not want to get billed for it.
Ditto.
They say that: "Look for the button to cancel your billing."

I can't find it. I guess because I'm still on a trial. So how am I supposed to unsubscribe? I already sent an email yesterday. Though no reply yet. I hope it didn't go in the spam bin.
I like WoW I just started playing with this trial but cant see shelling out $30-$50 bucks just to have one month free and have to start paying $15 a month. I started city of heroes similarly earlier this year with a 14day trial and was able to continue playing/paying after the trial without buying retail software and I also believe coh is a better game check it out.
These games aren't really my type, and this one doesn't seem that great. Starting off I have no idea what to do, I'm getting killed by spiders and wolves, and I had some lamer put me on their "ignore" list for ignoring them (go figure). I'm going to stick to FEAR where stuff dies when I shoot it.
Now.... to figure out how to cancel my monthly fee or whatever.

I'm suprised you gave up so easily. Normally I'll play a game for a few weeks and stop playing it on any regular basis after that. But for me, part of what makes WoW fun to play is how much variety there is to it.
My first character was an absolute b**ch to learn enough to get through the first few levels. Once I learned, things were a lot easier. Now, starting a new character is just a manner of learning what skills it has.
Also the game has a lot more end game things to do. When you hit the current max level of 60 things have only just begun. There are skills to max, battlegrounds, quests, you name it.
As for people it's part of what makes things interesting. Yeah there can be jerks but there are plenty of interesting people to talk to also.
Coming from someone who used to swear they would never pay for a mmorpg, I'd have to say it's well worth the $13-$15 a month to play this game.

I noticed this at the bottom of the download page (under the GET PREMIUM WHATEVER button):
Note that to create a World of Warcraft Trial Account, a Credit Card is required for verification purposes only. Your card will not be charged. If you wish to continue playing after the trial you will need to purchase a retail copy of the game.
Which is good, but kind of annoying if you actually want to keep playing. Seems like losing $35 would be worth hooking people for fifteen a month.

i can see why they call it crack now.
i played it all night, then turned off my cell phone because i didn't want to be bothered, hit the snooze button too many times and slept through my job.

I downloaded the trial, and I've been playing pretty solid for a week.
I'm torn; on the one hand, I find the game to be pretty amazing, and I can now see why there is a monthly sub fee: they've put a great amount of work into the game, and it appears they continue to develop and improve it. The game is pretty open-ended; when you're tired of the preset quests, you can always band together with friends and go PvP (player vs. player). So, for those reasons, I'd be happy to buy and subscribe to this game. I've been putting in at least a few hours each night on it since I started a week ago.
On the other hand, this game is dangerously addictive. I've noticed over the past week that I've neglected my chores and my sleep, and I've spent time on the game that I otherwise should be spending with my family (wife and 3 kids). This game is a time vampire. At this point, I don't know if my play frequency would taper off as the "newness" factor wears off, or if my absorption into the game would just become worse.
Great deal on the free trial, and now that the game is only $30, it's not a bad deal for the retail version, either. That said, I'm still debating whether or not to purchase and renew.

It comes as a insert between pages 48 and 49. If it's not there, you got jacked.
