Hey Guys,

I know you've probably read the questions I'm about to ask a million times before but humour me if you will...

Yesterday evening I got a 10 day trial pass and started playing WoW for the first time. To me, everything works pretty well but I want some advise regardless. I have a 2gb - 384kb DSL account...do you reckon that 2gb's of bandwidth will be enough? Considering that I work from 8 - 5 and probably won't be playing for more than say 2 - 3 hours a day... And, the ISP that I use is called LAVA Hosting (effectively IS)...I have no idea whether their bandwidth is shaped or not. Does anyone perhaps know? I don't really want to switch ISP's as the service there is quite good.

BTW - Can't wait to get home and play!!!
 
How do you get a 10-day trial?
Do you need to download a special version of WoW?

2gb should be enough yes.
But i don't recommend using IS. They go via satellite which will give you high latency...
I recommend Web Africa unshaped.
 
Or just ask on the forum for someone that have a guest account for you... Not sure if I still have a few spare guest accounts, but think you can get one on the oficial forums now too....

2Gb should be plenty to handle your wow traffic, I play 4-5 hours per day and a lot more over weekends and uses about 1Gb per month, if there are downloads (patches) you might need more, recomend getting a cheap prepaid for that then...

And welcome to WoW, hope you enjoy your stay :D Be warned though it is highly addictive...
 
So where do you get the client? xP
Usually it costs money....which means its not really a free trial.
 
Awesome...thanks guys...appreciate the help!

Thx werries2...and so the addiction begins I suppose!!

Click to expand...

you download it, then activate with 10 day free trial key.
Once trial is up you need to purchase a retail key, which is the same price as the game IIRC. =)
I got WOW+BC from Makro in Woodmead for R499.00
 
Cut and paste works without any problems at all.

Taken from the last newsletter Blizz sent to me
=====================================
Is your friend new to World of Warcraft?

Invite a friend to play alongside you for 10 days free and you could get 30 days free play! To invite a friend, just go to the Account Management section and click the Recruit a Friend button. If your friend later decides to purchase a retail account, you will automatically be credited with 30 days free subscription to your own account as soon as they begin their first paid period of subscription. For more information, take a look at our F.A.Q.

Is your friend a former player?

Invite a former-player of World of Warcraft to try the latest content for 10 days free and you could get 30 days free play! For every friend who returns to the game through your Scroll of Resurrection invitation, and then re-subscribes to the game with a paid subscription, you will receive one free month of World of Warcraft game-time. Click here to visit the Scroll of Resurrection page in the Account Management and start resurrecting your friends! You can also learn more about the Scroll of Resurrection by reading our F.A.Q.
====================================
 
Yeah...I copied the client from my friend and just signed up for the 10 day trial key.

Is it better to go buy the game or to just purchase a retail key off the net? Suppose it's the same thing really...
 
get the retail cos then you get the box and original cds and stuff =)
 
i like having the cool box and **** =)
still got the original D2 and war2 boxes on me shelf :D
