Anyone has a work around this? I got the retail box but it wont finish the account creation even if my key is valid... it wants a gamecrad or creditcard otherwise it's die, and neither EBgames or Futureshop has the gamecards until december...
It wont let you use your free month unless you provide it with extra money before playing... gg blizzard

Can't create WoW account without credit card?Follow
This isn't that unusual. It will not charge you up front, only after your 1 free month is up.

This is true. You need a valid credit card to be able to use the service. There is no way around this. Even with a gamecard, the EB employee told me that you need a creditcard registered to it. (It didn't make a lot of sense...but still)

they say they accept paypal, but nowhere can you pay with paylpal, anyone else seen where it is possible to use paypal for WoW?

Really? where did you see this? I'd love to use my PayPal balance to play.
I heard that paypall will be introduced after the launch .... so i'm afraid it's either wait or get yourself a CC to start now.
Not entirely sure though,
Hope it works out for you,

Im confused as to why so many people are suprised about this. Im pretty sure every mmo that you PAY FOR requires a cc for your first month? not to charge, though. Am I missing something?

yes, it says all over that Blizzard accepts paypal directly, wich should be enough, and gamecard are prepaid cards and arent available at any store who sells the game here. And still its says you have one month free, should be accessible you just gave em 50$ ffs...

Yeah, but theyd rather be "wee, charge his cc as soon as hes done with the free month!" instead of "when will he put his cc/otherpaymentmethods on to continue :("

thanks for the help, I borowed a friends credit card until Blizz sets up with Paypal, good luck, see you guys on Warsong server pvp east.
You can select pay-pal when setting up an new account at the payment methad stage
um WTF there is no paypal selection i'm on the site right now. Anyone would like to point out exactly where you select it. Also WTF is this ************* bs I can't play WoW until the 30th because they decide to sell the GC then i mean wtf kind of business is that. Man i refuse to use my CC because I've had previous issues when using one. It would be great if someone can point out how i can pay with paypal.

It's a business that's trying to keep "I R 1337 and I wtf pwnedx0rz joo" types outta the game. LOL.
Step 4 on account creation it has 3 cards then under those is some writing then a pay-pal button
All i see is
PAYMENT METHOD
• Visa
• Mastercard
•Discover
• American Express
GAME CARD OPTION
• re-paid Game Card - Provides a preset amount of play time
WARNING: Please be aware that Game Cards are non-refundable once the authorization code has been scratched off and revealed.
I'D like to know where is the paypal button???

You're right, that doesn't make sense at all. I honestly don't think that guy knew what he was talking about. One of the main points in using a game card is if you don't have/want to use a credit card.

PayPal and Pre-Paid Game-Card Payments - Block on 11/23/04
Due to some unforeseen systems issues, PayPal is not currently able to accept World of Warcraft payments. However, they are working diligently with us to bring this online as soon as possible.
We are also experiencing a brief supply delay with the retail pre-paid game cards. The game cards will be ready to ship this coming Monday, November 29 and should begin appearing in stores where World of Warcraft is sold shortly thereafter. We apologize for any inconvenience and will provide additional information as soon as it is available

Im completely screwed since i planned from the start to use game cards.
Nowhere on the site or on the box did it say that you need a game card right away to so much as activate your account. Thats pretty crappy, especially since they ****** up the supply of the things. EB near me claims theyll have a few tommorow so all i can do is hope i can snag one. Otherwise i get to sit here for a damn week with a game that i paid $80 for and cant play.
gg blizzard.

All i can do now is watch my friend play eq2 on his computer....lol
Actually you dont need a Credit Card to play the game, because its the first month and its free they wont bill the card itself. As long as you have a vaild (possible) CC Number its ok lol, i figured this one out, wont work after free month is over cause its not really a CC but it will hold over till the GCs come out.

I'd be willing to guess that the billing system actually verifies the validity of the cc by putting a $1.00 hold (not charge) on the card.
Nope, it doesnt. My friend found a CC Number generator online and generated a random number that fit the qualifications for a Visa CC, he tried it and is now happily playing WoW lol
