    Cataclysm digital upgrade

    So I tried to upgrade my account with digital upgrading a few hours ago first it was saying there were errors with what I had written and then suddenly the process went though but it seemed to me like it hadn't.

    I ask other people who had done the digital upgrade and they said that on their battle net account it said their account was under the name World of Warcraft®: Cataclysm where as mine says World of Warcraft®: Wrath of the Lich King still.

    I was told that it was an instant change for them but mine remains the same under World of Warcraft®: Wrath of the Lich King. So have I not digitally upgraded my account or am I being trolled?

    please help me since cata is out within the next 24 hours.

    Mine is, indeed, listed as World of Warcraft: Cataclysm. I would check your banking account to see if the charge went through or not, and if not, just try and purchase it again. If it did charge and nothing changed.. then I don't know. Have you tried logging into game since you bought it?

    When victory seems worth any sacrifice,
    there is a price to be paid for such a gift

    When I look on my main account page, it doesn't look different. I have to specifically click on my actual wow account (not the PTR) and look at that page where it then shows the cataclysm box. That is the page where it lists your subscription type etc.

    Our characters are wearing the same pair of underwear, since like, Level 1. Damn that's unsanitary as hell.

    Given the various posts here on the forums, it seems there's a bit of hammering going on with regards to the Battle.net Store. It's most likely there's a backlog of orders and it's bogging down the system. I know there was similar problems with the release of the Celestial Steed.

    Your account should read Cataclysm (Upgrade Successful) Or something along those lines if it was successful. If it isn't updated by tomorrow morning, I'd contact Blizzard.

    Mine says Cataclysm too... good luck with yours.

    Wait on this note, since the digital upgrade is quite a bit cheeper than the actually box, which one is realisticly better? since the box has sentimental value as a collectors item.

    In all honesty, if you are just looking to play the game, I suggest the digital upgrade, and when Cataclysm is cheaper, you can buy the box later as sort of a token. That's what I plan to do!

    yes I've logged in like 4 times since I've brought it to check I did it a few hours ago and even went as far as trying it again but it still hasn't changed I'm not going to keep ordering it because I don't want it to end up charging me multiple times but It's been about 4 - 5 hours I've been waiting for it to update now.

    My account says Cataclysm as well. I purchased the digital download a week ago Monday.

    And BTW, the box version is exactly the same price as the digital download. The only version that's more expensive is the collector's edition box version. Pay no attention to anyone who says the digital is cheaper than the regular box.

    I think he means cheaper with regards to taxes. Also, it may be cheaper depending on Blizzard's currency conversion rates. *shrug*.

    EDIT: To clarify, and avoid people raising the question, as I feel it may be raised later. Some states, etc do not charge taxes on Internet goods. The result is a cheaper item, if people take this into consideration.

    That's true. Taxes could be a factor and save you a couple bucks. I didn't think about that. I just want to get into Hyjal already :P
