One copy of Burning Crusade will upgrade ONE WoW account. Another $40 to upgrade the second, which I wouldn’t even have if it wasn’t required to play from 2 PCs at once. Not only that, there’s no way to purchase a key online (that I could find). I had to run to the store after another freaking box, just to get the %$#@ 26-digit code inside.
Fuck you, Blizzard. Fuck you.

yeah, dude, that’s like, the way it works. you need an account key for an expansion for each account you wanna upgrade. i sorta assumed this would be a logical expectation.

Well, I wasn’t mad until I had to run to the store to purchase 4 discs identical to ones I already had. They shoulda set up some kind of online purchase option for keys.

and that’s pretty much one of the longest running complaints of the system. Sony/Verant did that, eventually, with Everquest. But that lead to people downloading disc images of the expansion and purchasing the account keys online. then when they had to re-install, they had nothing to re-install from. It ended up causing a lot of issues. that and i’ve personally held that if you could just order everything from the website, chinese gold farming would be even worse than it is currently.
