Like a coke dealer letting an old client have one on him, Blizzard is flooding their former fanbase with free 10-day trials of World of Warcraft's Burning Crusade.

The box showed up in my mail a few days ago in one of those DVD cases I still associate with AOL free trials. Hitting the FAQ I find that most of the Burning Crusade's content is available for those ten days, though you can only advance to within one experience point of level 61.

My favorite Q&A:

How do I upgrade to the full version of The Burning Crusade?

If you have a credit card, you can upgrade your account directly online for $39.99 USD at any time. You can also purchase a boxed copy from the Blizzard Online Store or most major retailers of entertainment software.

That's right, you buy it. Fahey's already pointed out how easily amused I am. Brian Crecente
