Do I need to buy the retail World of Warcraft to play it?
Posted on 2008 under Games | 4 Comments23 Aug
I’m planning to play wow and use game card to load it and play every month. I have already downloaded the game in there site. Now I don’t know if I’ll buy a game card or the retail one? Can anyone clear this up?

You need a retail one to get the Key which you need to activate your account.

Make a trial account on the site and youll be able to upgrade it.

Yeah, and you’ll have to end up buying all three of them. World of Warcraft, The Burning Crusade, and The Wrath of The Litch King or w/e!

you don’t need to buy a retail world of warcraft game from the store to play it. you can buy the upgrade off the site but it does cost the same as the retail game from the store so you would probably be better of owning the actual game. you don’t need the expansion to play the game like the other guy said either. but later on you will need them to progress later in the game.
