Dunno if this has been posted yet or not but I havent seen it on the first couple pages
http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/accou...InstallWoW.exe
will link you to a downloader for the WotLK expansion and has been giving me some pretty good bandwidth averaging around 750KBs 67% of 1.9 gigs in 20mins get in line before it becomes flooded :P
umm why does it look like I am downloading the expansion? I mean am I?
do I even need to go out and buy it or is this just some phat patch?
this is the expansion you are downloading once installed all you will need to do is enter your code you get inside the box you buy no need for using the installer disks
thanks
yea this is easy cheese. I am almost done wit the download. Its the exp pack...
"The file "Localization.xml couldn't be found. Install can not continue"
do i need to run this from a specific directory?
Nice link. Hopefully this works, 800 kB/s is nice-mode.
I can't get to the download....perhaps it's been moved or it's a casualty of the server problems....
seems to be workin fine, downloaded and installing just fine...this is a great find for me. MMOSupplies finally came through so ill have my WotLK Key on time, all i needed was the game client...which i now have. Thanks alot. =P
edit: nevermind!
Thanks for this!
Well this is really awesome, thanks again for the post! All that is left now is to upgrade the accounts and make my way to the promised land ;)
This is handy for at least one of my friends that I'm buying the game for. He lives about 2 hours away from me, so while I'm more than happy to cover the game for him, it would suck to have to ISO and upload to him.Quote:

I don't know what you are doing, but I run the file, choose wotlk and it takes abour 30 seconds to get half way full on the bars and then just quits to: "Localization.xml not found"Quote:

Besides, the whole point of being ready to go right at 9pm PST is so you can get a couple hours in BEFORE the constant crashing/reboots ;)
How do you get your CD keys before midnight local time though? Or are you on the east coast?Quote:

So I just finished the update and all it did was revert me back 2 patches...
And the realm list only has one realm - Arathor.
And there's no oceanic option
That's why you run into Utgarde Pinnacle or The Nexus as fast as you possilbly can and you don't come out for 2 days. ;)Quote:

That being said /shrug maybe I'm just a bit paranoid but given all the virus attacks that are aimed at gamer's these days I'll just wait to download from the DVD.
the realm problem has nothing to do with your WOTLK install. It's doing that to me too. Has something to do with the 8 extra hours of maintenance blizzard is doing.
type in the address manually. its on blizzards site, they already have your infos.Quote:

But reverting b ack two patches was pretty pointless :)
Wonder if it will still run as wotlk on Thursday though>?
BLIZZARD!?!?!?! Those bastards have been stealing money out of my account for the last 4 YEARS!!!Quote:

running vista? if so, dependin on how you have wow currently installed vs how you attempted to install with the client, it may not take properly. like, the whole directories thing. i left mine set to install everything in C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft so i didnt have to relearn where everything was kept (also makes copyin the game easier). only thing i can think of. if you have xp then i really have no idea.Quote:

This is exactly why I'm in no hurry to rush out and pick up all my copies.Quote:

From past experience, I doubt I'll even be able to log into the servers for 2 days.
And I'm pretty sure the stores aren't going to run out of the game since I've yet to find a single active WoW player in NY...but then again I don't get out a lot. :P
Please note that this download is from the US website and might not work with the EU/other WoW versions.
Doesn't work for me (EU version)Quote:

Btw, US servers will be upgraded to lich king at midnight *PST* so all your eastcoasters will have to wait til 3am, so sorry!!!
On the contrary, this is when i use to play on smolderthorn, so maybe a Ellay remebers this. But jumping into the portal was actually just fine. Not too many crashes, about 100 people thought they were suppose to kill that big dude infront o fthe portal, and they all died... that was hilarous.Quote:

Outside the portal on the azeroth side, rogues ganked me and everyone else in the crater for a good hour...
quite smooth just a lot of idiots, rogues, and the epic feel.
MY prediction this time around says...
there will be idiots
there will be rogues..
there will also be 10,000 shammans trying to thunderstorm people off boats, docks etc.
Wrong its midnite EST, 9pm EST that WOTLK will be "flipped on". All us west coasters without WOTLK boxes will be 3 hours behind :(Quote:

edit: Well shit, they changed their post, it used to say midnight PST for launch
Which is facking bullshit, but whatever. This reminds me, is Magtheridon a west coast or east coast server? Maybe I will get to play at 9pm!Quote:
