    While true,
    I'd like to point out that every character I've leveled up above level 30 in WoW (Which goes beyond 40 of them..) I'm yet to use the AH or other players until I'm around 25-30.
    There's just no need for gear that doesn't come from drops.
    Apart from bags,
    but they can be bought from NPCs (Costs more, sure, but hey, it's not much in the end)

    Also - you're a hunter, you have almost no use for any special gear whatsoever until high-end.
    (Well according to the best hunter-leveler there is atleast :P )

    Played so far: 9Dragons, AO, AC, AC2, CoX, DAoC, DF, DnL, DR, DDO, Ent, EvE, EQ, EQ2, FoMK, FFO, Fury, GW, HG:L, HZ, L1, L2, M59, MU, NC1, NC2, PS, PT, R:O, RF:O, RYL, Ryzom, SL, SB, SW:G, TR, TCoS, MX:O, UO, VG, WAR, WoW...
    It all sucked.

    Even if it required a CC to play, you still wound be limited on the core options in WoW, like you said AH and Trade Chat. The trial is more like a striped down copy of WoW. Yes it was designed to keep the gold runners and farmers at bay, and it seemed to work but hey I never bought gold nor do I play WoW any more, so more power to them! I'm going to assume you don't speak English as your 1st language because of your lacking in sentence structure and spelling (my spelling sucks too but I type out most words in forums).



    WoW is another game that is "You like it or hate it." now a days. Honestly pay the $20 or so for the 30 days or don't bother. Even though I'm an ex-WoW player and don't really like the game any more, that is a good deal. Seeing some games are $30-50 and it ends up being garbage AND you don't even finish the 30 days lol.

    If it makes you feel better: Noone would pay more for those green drops anyways.

    on th eone hand the trail is a pain,but Blizzard gives them out like candy, so they do need some control for  those that try to abuse the system at the coost of every one else. On the bright side once your trial is over you can just pony up and, or not even wait til then to fully activate yoru account if you feel the need to

    i can solve your problem with the tial account, go out and buy the game get an account pay for it, then you can use everything you want to use :)

    Um.........



    This is a really bizarre topic imo :)



    The OP has a link to the EVE trial in his sig, which many of us know, has many similar restrictions.  You can't train certain skills, you can't use certain ships, certain features of the game are blocked off to you, and many corps explicitly state they do not want anything to do with trial accounts.



    If I'm not mistaken, Everquest 2 has similar restrictions.



    So WoW's trial would appear to be a pretty standard deal.

    Still waiting for your Holy Grail MMORPG? Interesting...

    • World of Warcraft is NOT FREE TO PLAY.

    • You trial the game to see if you want to pay to play.

    • If you don't like the trial or the game, stop playing.

    • If you like the game, but hate the trial, buy the game and end the trial.

     

    • If you are playing the trial because you can't afford the game, stop playing and find a FREE TO PLAY MMO.

    If you are on the 10 day trial and have not completed the upgrade to full account details, then you're stuck with the trial account restrictions. I have no problem with that if it helps to stop the gold /w I get in game on a minute by minute basis.



    If you want to get the full features, input your trial code and upgrade to a full account straight away. You still get the 10 days from the trial added to your account but without any of the trial restrictions.  By upgrading immediately you '10 trial days' essentially become '10 bonus days on your full account', you don't lose any trial days when you upgrade.

    Pretty good, yes. With the thought that it's your second time (counted trial too) it's pretty good time to get to lvl 16.

    I would however suggest u to enjoy ur time exping to 70, as the first time is the absolutely best. It's a new experience and everything is new and amazing. Don't focus too much on exping as fast as possible and so on, just have fun.

    I wish trials could not send tells also. I know, you hate me for wishing that, but millions of us are being spammed by goldsellers every half hour. Very frustrating.
