Looks like it works.UPDATE: CHANGE IN PROCEDURE: NOW YOU HAVE TO MAIL IN THE CD CASE
This trick enables one to obtain a cd-key for as low as under $5!
What you need to do is obtain a world of warcraft manual, perhaps from a friend. You then take your friend's receipt when he purchased WOW.
Note: The receipt must prove the purchase was within 30 days. If it has been over 30 days, or there is no receipt, you must instead a $10 US money order.
You type up a note explaining that you bought WOW but the cd-key was missing, and you would like a new cd-key emailed to your email address.
You mail in the note, manual, and receipt to Blizzard. They will then email you the cd-key within 2 weeks and also mail you your manual back.
It is also possible to use one of the actual game CD's instead of the manual, but I am not sure if that will work. The manual does work for sure.

Imo move this to scamming section :P!
Hmm... Why? Its working as intended... Just not expecting it to be exploited like this. Thus the reason it is here in exploit section![]()
So has anyone really tried this out yet? So how does it work for us to exploit it? Get your manual or where ever the serial key is located, rip it off carefully, write up a letter about not getting a CD-key, send it to the Blizzard Address and wait a few weeks for them to give you a new one?
sounds cool
EDIT: The link doesn't give any information on having to present a receipt in the mail to the Blizzard HQ? Also does the Pacific i.e. Australia count as the North American version or the EU version??

lol it work for me ^_^ +rep
Brillant! I got a new CD Key in the mail today. <3 If i could rep i would, i will as soon as i get a little bit of power (but ima lazy leeching lowbie)![]()
I'm guessing you should remove the key sticker before you send it off to avoid your friend's account from being banned.
i would like to know why some1 with as much rep and rep power as you would post something so utterly pointless i can wait 2 weeks and get a cd key for $5 or i can buy it for $20 from my local game store and still have $3000 dollars from the previouse 2 weeks i just worked :s
Nice one, can come in handy even if you arent trying to scam.
Yay it worked for me.
