WTF? Patch?

[Jase]

I just logged out around 7mins ago and I try to log back in and I have to patch 167meg? (50.9 to available and 116 to playable) ... :wtf:

This game is becoming world of patchcraft!

Edit: It allows me to login even though it still is in the setup part. My bad....

It's not a new patch, it's actually "re-downloading" data which will replace current files. It's intended to resolve a few issues including disconnects and 'pink squares'.

As it's not a patch, if you're extremely eager to get into the game (or it's taking too long) you can actually bypass the launcher and run the wow.exe in your game directory and play normally. You can then continue on downloading it later after you're done playing.

Helps if you keep one beady eye on mmo-champion.

Well it seems to update the game from 4.0.3 to 4.0.3A. Lol. World of Patchcraft indeed!

4.0.3a was released last week. That is the Shattering patch.

Only started playing WOW since last month and downloaded about 15GB worth of patches and stuff. INSANE!
