-I want to go back to playing World of Warcraft, but I have no clue as to the procedure. I want to play at a PC bang if possible,because this is a very bad computer. How does one subscribe while overseas, and what do you do?
-thank you

You can download the basic version for free. Signup for the trial...then just pay whatever after that is done.

Why don't you just buy a new computer if you really want to play? Under 1mil won can get you a passable gaming rig. Heck I used to play it on a crappy notebook...it was choppy FPS, but it still worked.

PC Bangs only have Korean WoW. You English account will not work on a Korean WoW.

You can change the settings to let you play on your American WoW account at the PC bang. However, all the in game stuff will be Korean. You can still chat/receive stuff in English.

go into realmlist.wtf and change it from .kr to .us

How do you sign up while in Korea? It says on the WoW account creation page:

* Your unique authentication key can only be used to create one (1) account.
* This account creation process is only available to customers in North America, New Zealand, Australia, Singapore, Thailand, and Malaysia.

S. Korea isn't listed there. How do we get around this? I want to make an account that will be good for back home, rather than only in Korea.


Use your address from back home?

I created one or two accounts while in Korea. I used my Canadian address...the serials i had bought were US versions of WoW. I got them from a friend who has base access.

Now days you can get free basic accounts...just start with the 10 day trial or whatever it is they have. Then upgrade that to a regular. Use an address from back home.

I find that I can't get past the first page of the account creation screen. I can't even put in an address.


Are you doing this from a PC room or your home? They might have IP blocked some PC rooms. If you are at home, not sure what the deal is.

more likely they KNOW WHAT COUNTRY HE IS IN!
I can't use my credit card with some sites because it won't accept an american card in korea.
