Accout or Cdkey?
 

If I bought a 60 day game card and used my friend's cds to install.....would I still need my own key?

I rememebr that you could download WoW and just buy the subscription....or was that GW? Dunno

Yes, you need your own account unless you're using his account and paying for it.

Yes, it's such BS. You must pay $45 for your first month.

So basically I could install WoW with his cds and cdkey I'd just ahve to make my own account?

A CD-Key is only used once, on the WoW website, to unlock an account. Once it has been used, it cannot be used again. You do not login to the game with a CD-Key. His CD-Key will do nothing for you. The free trial thing is different though. I believe if you do that you can continue with a real account, but you have to pay.

The trial thing requires activation with a $45 first month (from a box) when it's over, and you can't trade with others untill you pay for your account.

Did you not read where I said "you must pay $45 for your first month"? That means exactly what I said; you must go to the store and buy a $45 game box in order to play your first month.
