Hi all,

I want to upgrade to the Burning Crusade expansion using the online method, however before i do this do they email me the key or is it all updated automatically? Reason i am asking is because me email address has changed and for the life of me i cannot change the information on the website for some reason, so if any one has used this method, enlightenment would be appreciated.
 
Have you tried emailing support regarding changing your information? That may be best as they may need to send you emails every now and then...
 
Everything on the wow-europe site is the exact same as on the worldofwarcraft site. Upgrades will be the same.

Personally, I would say or advise to rather buy the box with all the discs :) You never know when you'll need a re-install and downloading the whole expansion again will be a waste.
 
Just change your e-mail address under your account management. If you have problems with that send an e-mail to blizz support to request an e-mail change. They will give you all sorts of questions to verify your account then change the e-mail.

The e-mail you provided in your account will be the one they send the key to.
 
Hi Guys this is the email i got back from blizzard

"Greetings!

World of Warcraft: the Burning Crusade is now available for online upgrade and download. This online upgrade feature will upgrade one standard World of Warcraft account for access to the Burning Crusade expansion content, including new races, zones, and expanded level cap for $29.99 US. This online upgrade is not needed if you currently have an unused Burning Crusade authentication key. If that is the case, please go to http://upgrade.worldofwarcraft.com/ to upgrade your account.

In order to upgrade your account you will need to log into your account through the Account Management Page. The only payment methods accepted for this service are Visa, MasterCard, Discover, and American Express. After requesting the upgrade, your account should be automatically updated and you should not need an authentication key.

This online upgrade requires an existing standard World of Warcraft account. It is not possible to upgrade a Guest Pass account using the Burning Crusade online upgrade. If you have a trial account, and would like more information on upgrading to a standard retail account, please email [email protected].

**PLEASE NOTE** Unlike the standard edition of World of Warcraft, the Burning Crusade does not include any additional play time. Expansion users may continue to use the same subscription plans available to all accounts; there is no additional monthly fee.

The World of Warcraft online upgrade is a taxable transaction in several regions. If you would like to see if your region collects a tax for this transaction, you may check here: http://us.blizzard.com/support/article.xml?articleId=21265. If you have any questions or concerns regarding taxes for our Direct Online Upgrade, please contact your state's Department of Revenue.
