Yes! You do. Along with keeping your trial character you can create up to 10 more per realm, and a total of 50 across all realms- you can also trade, mail and use the auction house. Most importantly, you can begin that grind to level cap :-D
If you are receiving the error 203 when you are either trying to set up or upgrade a trial account you need to contact the accounting and billing department for World of Warcraft.
you cant upgrade without paying but you can buy the upgrade online instead of going to the store
From the official World of Warcraft website.
No you do not.
No.
Yes you will be able to talk to him/her. Howerver, you will only be able to do it in private messages as trial accounts to not have access to general/trade/lfg chats until they upgrade to a real account.
World of Warcraft trial accounts do use the Cataclysm maps but you would not be able to access them as you can only level up to level 20 in the trial version.
you don't have to start over, what happens is that you buy the whole game, then you can download the "real" WoW and your Toon will be there just like you left him(her).
Only you can decide if you want to get world of warcraft. It is however advisable that you use a trial account to decide if you want it or not. The trial account is available at the official website below.
Yes. You just have to choose the option that you already have a World of Warcraft acount, so that the payment goes onto the trial acount, which will give you the right amount of months you've paid for.
You cant get free World of Warcraft forever but you can have a 10-day free trial, but after that its about £10 a month onwards.
The free trial involves only Classic World of Warcraft - the next expansion pack in line is The Burning Crusade.
