[WOW] US Account for Europeans?

Soriak · 05-25-2008, 04:28 PM

I got the trial to work using New York and one of its zip code. However, now it won't let me use my credit card to upgrade to a full account. I've tried to change the contact address, which it confirms changed, but doesn't actually change.

Has anyone had any luck getting this to work? How about the monthly fee? Please don't tell me I'm stuck buying the game code from some third party site and importing game cards

I've had my CC work with my US account, with a random adress, so I'm not sure. However when the game first released, I couldn't use my own CC, only later it started accepting it. You can however buy gamecodes and gamecards online pretty much instantly, so well it's not that much of an issue.

Do you have a link to a reliable site that e-mails the codes?

Try Shattered Crystal, There is a ton of sites out there . I only know of Shattered Crystal because that is the site most Eve players recommended in terms of Eve Time cards,so it's merely an assumption that thier server is equally good in terms of WoW cards.

Game Codes, Game Time, Registration Code Keys, World of Warcraft, EVE, DDO, Lineage 2, Ultima Online

The site looks pretty weak and I was a little weary of it at first, but it works fine for me. I haven't found a store in my area that actually sells EvE time cards so this was the only option for me.

Weird, my cc worked just fine.. I used gamer's loot to buy the game, and used a random address in Sydney.

I used swagvault for keys and stuff, it's one of the oldest gold selling website, and they sell game keys too. Usually get it within 10mins.

I used swagvault to preorder AOC as their site promised the retail key would be emailed out on release.

Come the 20th I still hadn't received my key, spoke to support via the live chat and was told they couldn't email anymore out until the 21st.

Disputed the paypal payment - lo and behold I get the key within 30mins..

I've used shattered crystal a couple times for time codes for various games. After the first time and the weird verification phone call, they are very fast and reliable.

Can also recommend Shattered here, done business with them hundreds of times already.
First time you get a verification call, they ask you some personal details etc, nothing weird.

I have always used Gamersloot.net, extremely fast and reliable, Shattered Crystal's verification process was pretty obnoxious. IIRC they wanted me to fax over multiple IDs, just to sell me a time card, yeah fuck that.

Got it from SC, thanks

Went to bed after ordering it and got a call in the middle of the night. Missed it and got an e-mail about it... followed by an e-mail with the CD key. Guess they didn't need the phone confirmation after all.
