Im considering gettin WoW. and im not a huge PC game cause i stick mainly to consols, but iv heard good things.

iv decided to use a trial version to test the game, but im having some trouble. iv dowloaded the game and set up a trial account but every time i try to play it just keeps making me download patchs, iv already downloaded about 5 and now it wants me to download a 2.3gig patch. No way. Is there a way around downloading patchs and just playing the game. And if i went out and bought the game would i still have to download all these anoying patches.

Any comments will be helpful. Thanks

Yeah the patches are huge, It is easier to download them off fileplanet. I am not sure if you have to patch, if say, you bought BC.

Sorry, you HAVE TO patch up to the same version that is running on the servers. Yes, you would have to download these patches... you working off of dial up?
