OB Technical Questions: WoW ReleaseFollow

Ok, I got the honor of playing w0w OB. The game itself is already installed on my machine. When I go to the store to pick up my wonderfully sexy Night Elf covered w0w box, will I have to suffer with installing the game again? I might just be answering my own question, but I do remember that I had to enter a beta code in order to install OB after a 7 hour download, and I KNOW Blizzard will require a CD-Key for installation....hmm....please clarify, my brain is too fuzzy right now.

You may not have to create a new account, but you will at least have to register the new retail cd-key with an account. The version of the game you have installed is the retail version. You may have to download an update for it, but it won't be any larger than what the boxed copy will need. Good luck getting to the signup server tomorrow! It's going to be hit hard.
