World of Warcraft Cataclysm Trial ProblemFollow

#1 Jan 10 2011 at 4:14 AM Rating: Decent
Hello everyone!
I have a question about the WoW trial.So i download the full client from battle.net (it was 4.0.0 one)and then it was updated to 4.0.3 ...
It didnt let me make any characters from any expansion (no Bf,no goblins,no worgens and no draeneis)
Now i saw that i can try the Cataclysm trial...and when i log in to my battle.net (after clicking the TRY IT button) it sais:

"No Eligible Accounts

You do not have any accounts eligible for this trial.

Back to Account Management"

Now what the hell is that meaning?
BTW i got a lvl 18 human hunter if that matters:P
Thank You.

Alrighty, that clarifies what I was thinking you meant. It'll help me answer you after doing a little looking(or maybe someone else if they already know).

The standard trial only allows you 10 days of limited access to the basic game, not to any of the expansions.
The Cataclysm trial gives someone who has all previous expansions 10 days of limited access to cataclysm.

Yes.

Quote:
To participate, you’ll need full versions of World of Warcraft and the first two expansions, The Burning Crusade and Wrath of the Lich King. Note that a character of at least level 78 is required to explore the new, high-level zones. More information on the 10-day free trial is available in our FAQ. We look forward to seeing you in the new Azeroth!


That said, you'll still get to see a lot of the changes to the world without it.

Yeah, the Cataclysm trial really is only intended for people who simply haven't bought Cataclysm yet.
You'll get enough of a taste of the game to decide whether or not you'd like to buy it from the normal trial.

No, you really aren't. The load screen may say otherwise, but unless Worgen/Goblins are unlocked and you can get into newer zones(like the worgen starter zone, for instance), then you are only playing vanilla.

yea but there are alot of changes almost all of the zones are changed ...like stromwind for example...

Yes, the zones are changed because all players are playing in the same world, regardless of what expansions they have. You wont be able to access any of the new expansions content though without the necessary expansions.

This means you wont be able to fly, level professions above 300, visit Outland, Northrend and some of the Cataclysm zones. You wont be able to level over 60, you wont be able to enter any dungeon from an expansion.

You are not playing cataclysm.

The whole world is of course updated to 4.0, and buying the basic game would get you that too.
You are however still playing vanilla WoW so you don't have access to outlands, northrend, the new 80-85 zones or any of the 4 new races.

It's a shame you didn't join us before the holidays. Blizzard ran a special offer on the game and all the expansions.

Right now it's pretty pricey, yes. Though the first month of playing is included in the purchase, so you don't have to pay for a month's subscription up front.

In addition to what Mazra said, you can also buy just the one(or the initial battlechest) now and get the rest later, unless the biggest draw is a worgen or goblin.

That would give you Vanilla, Burning Crusade and a month of game time for only £7. The content in those would last you at least a month or two, which would make the purchasing of WotLK seem alot less painful. Another month of play from Lich King before you need to splash out the big bucks for Cataclysm. It really isnt as expensive as it first seems when it is done in parts.
