Title: 10-Free Pass

I think this is a pretty damn good idea.

Collector's Edition 10-Day Guest Pass

Players who will be accessing the game through the 10-day pass will create their account for that exactly the same way as a normal player, by visiting the account-creation webpage.

Those who wish to continue playing the game once the 10-day free period is over must first visit their local retailer or online store to purchase a copy of World of Warcraft. Once they have obtained a copy of the game, they can log in to WorldofWarcraft.com using their 10-day pass login information and then enter the authentication key that came with boxed copy into the field found at the bottom of their account page.

That's all that's required to activate a full-fledged World of Warcraft account once the 10-day free period has expired. Any characters that players have created during the 10-day trial, along with all their items, will be available for them to continue playing!



Seems like every one who buys a collectors edition gets a free 10 day pass to give out to a friend. Nice idea Blizzard.

It's not.  You can't just upgrade your 10-day pass for the full game.  You have to go out and buy the box.

On the other hand, I think this would have been a FANTASTIC idea to include in the retail version.  I can imagine how many people have friends that aren't sure if they want to play or not.
