Making a wow account

You can create a Trial Account for World of Warcraft by downloading the trial. If you later wish to upgrade to a full account you will have to buy the game and completely download or install it but you will be able to retain any account information or characters you made during the Trial Account.

It is advisable to find a friend who plays World of Warcraft and creating an account (trial or not) through the Recruit-a-Friend option. If you should ever decide to make a full account, you'll get all of the rewards offered from Recruit-a-Friend and make playing the game more fun for you since you'll be playing with someone you know.
