I installed GW yesterday from the PC Format magazine. It's a 14 day or 10 hour demo. I decided to buy the full game yesterday too. I got it for £9.99 from GAME.
I added the new key at the login screen thinking it would change my access key but I got an info box in-game saying I've got 30 minutes left

Have I got to uninstall my game and reinstall from my full version? Will I lose my character?

Thanks in advance.

Probably not. See the 30 mins through and see what happens. You won't lose your character immediatley. I think. Even if you do, it'll give you a chance to correct where you went wrong (maybe leaving Pre at level 3, like I did)

Reinstalling the game would have no effect since all the account related stuff are stored on the servers.. See what happens after those 30 minutes

Access keys aren't replaced when you add new ones. Your account still has the trial key on it, but when that expires your retail key should take effect.

Funny you should say that... BF2 has caused me to get very agressive through frustration... I prefer GW over that any day.
