I want to start playing WoW.

What do i do?

I mean isn't there like 400 expansions, and am i gonna have to download 6000 different patches.

Is it a pain in the ass to get up and running? Or do i just buy the game.. then all the expansions seperately.. or are they all in a pack with the game i can buy? and then it just updates all the patches in one go..?

Oh man, im so confused.



Also, what are the specs to run it well? It doesn't look very demanding.

Someone on the WoW board said the game automatically updates and installs the patches when you run the setup.

Either way, it sounds alot less complicated than i thought, thanks for the help.

Everyone plays the same version of the game no matter what. Expansions just unlock things.

Thanks for all the help hey.

I work night shifts and have nothing to do after i wake up through the day.. So im gonna become a fat sweaty warcraft nerd, Cannot wait.
When i was young i played Runescape for like 2 years and got overly addicted, It was so bad for my social life. Now i dont have a social life so WHY NOT DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN :D

I went back for the new expansion on a 10 day free trial...I couldnt get into it.. IxX3xil3d0n3XxI

Roughly what level is it you stop getting called a n00b by every single other player?

I remember i couldn't approach someone on Runescape without getting called a nub until i was like level 60, then i started getting the respect i earnt for all my countless hours of grinding.

And at what level does it stop being approriate to walk around begging high lvls for gold?

Also, if im willing to pay real life monies am i able to become the most OP level 5 character of all time? Or are the micro transactions purely cosmetic?

don't do it brahultraking

The base game, WotLK and TBC are bundled in the battlechest which you can buy for 5$, Cata can be bought for 10$ and MoP can be bought for 30$ on the official site. so 45$ total.

Furthermore, you will probably find them cheaper elsewhere if you know where to look.

Can't comment on the file size though, I have no idea how big the wow file is in its current state.

The battlechest has both a physical and digital edition. However, I am sure that the digital battle chest will be much cheaper than the retail chest. And last time I checked, installing the latest expansion installs the previous expansions as well. So the physical editions of the battlechest would be mostly only worth it if you want the physical copy (as something to collect or something similar). If you do want a physical copy, a price comparison price like the one I linked below would be a good idea to use to find the best deal.

Buy the games. There are 4 expansions, and they're lik 15-20 each.

There are about 20 patches, but if you have a good internet connection no need to worry, the downloads are automatic so there's no hussle there.

And yes, buy the games, install them and it updates automatically.

The Burning Crusdade and Wrath of The Lich King are no longer expansions, they are now part of the base game and everyone with a WoW account has them unlocked. Cataclysm and Mists of Pandaria are the only two expansions that you can buy, I would suggest playing to level 80 before buying an expansion, as you won't need either of them until 80.

Good luck and have fun in Azeroth!

[QUOTE="-Unreal-"][QUOTE="IxX3xil3d0n3XxI"] I am dying of boredom from not playing a MMO currently. Trust me when I say I really wanted to get into it again.

Lol, I thought my 25 days was excessive, I feel much better about it now, thanks.

PS: I think 400 days is enough to kill me.

Just want to contribute my current experience: Haven't played WoW for probably 5-6 years. Tried Cataclysm but just couldn't be bothered getting back to my Undead Warlock. Since a week ago I'm on the trial of Mists and created a Pandaren. Even though some of the bad things of WoW are still there (too many fetch quests) I'm having a ball leveling my Panda. I feel some of the "Magic" I felt when I first played Vanilla WoW. Great time to get back into it.FelipeInside

Please don't praise popular games, it makes you look like a casual. On this fourm we only praise retro indie games or shooters not pubished by EA or Activision.

Because PC gamers are too cool to like popular games.
