World of Warcraft into: CD purchase required?

A friend of mine recently installed WoW on my PC from his CD set, using his account to login.

Does the WoW 10-day introduction offer obligate you to buy a second CD set once the introductory period expires, or can you create a full account from the install of the CD set you borrowed?

    You have to buy the CD set in order to continue playing WOW.

    Yes, you must purchase the CD set. The reason is: after you use the temporary key code used to play the trial, you need a new key code. You DO NOT need to uninstall your friends installation of the software, however. Go to the store, purchase a copy of the game. Log into www.worldofwarcraft.com and start an account using your new cd key and you're set. There's no need to reinstall the software as it is already on your hardrive and updated.

    if you installed the game from a CD (including the one you borrowed)... i think you should be fine. Just as long as you create another account that you pay you can use that account in any computer that has the full-game installed.

    You won't have to buy new cd's but you will need a CD key to keep your account. Only problem is, you need CD key which comes from the disks. So yeah you kinda do need new ones.
