    Default WoW question

    So I was thinking about doing retail and I decided I might as well make an account before I get the pre paid card. Well it asks for an authentication key. What exactley does this mean? Does it mean the number on the back of the pre paid card or what? I already have wow and the burning cruisade by a "secret means" but I dont have an account

    thanks

    An Authentication Key is basically the serial number you get when you buy the game to prove you have a legitimate copy.

    hmm so you have the cd's but not a cd key then? you'll need to purchase a cd key which you can get from wow's main site if that's the case

    alternatively you could get a "second hand" account for the cost of the game and BC, but at the risk of losing it in the future to the old owned

    When you buy the game from game shop, you aren't really paying for the CD. You are paying for the serial number so you can make a new account.

    You are going to have to either buy a new copy and own your account, or get account from someone else.
