Nope, but our epics are gonna be replaced all over again, so yay for more than 1 upgrade every 1-2 weeks xD Go go quest mode lol. I'll abuse the LFG Tank thing after I've explored O_o

13GB Cata + 13ish GB we have now, or is it reinstalling everything?

Most likely overwriting a lot, but new stuff aswell. There are new graphics like water, textures, etc. so the entire gameworld will be updated with these.

What did you expect :unsure:

 

Quick question;

What would you guys do: Start over with Cataclysm and enjoy the updated worlds or start over before Cata hits so I have 80 when Cata hits? I don't raid but I do like to do BG's and have up-to-date PvP gear (and I plan on starting with Arena).

Plus I think the whole teenage girl thing will end soon (hopefully), because my girlfriend is absolutely in love with him(she is 18), and im beginning to feel threatened by his [Justin Bieber] dashing looks.

Its taking quite a while to patch up... WoW folder is at 20.5gb atm whereas the beta is at 25.5gb.

 

Gahh!!! Hurry up I want to make my goblin xD

 

To above poster: I would personally wait untill Cataclysm, unless you haven't seen any of the old world. If you're a new player starting from scratch (Or trial account) I'd say go for it, experience the old world while you can, if you are an ex-wow player comming back from a break, I'd wait till cataclysm hits, everything will be new and hopefully more exciting. Also a lot of game mechanics are going to be changing (Aparently).

Ahh, true. I overlooked that. So its a mix then.

I already played 2 characters through the old world. I'll probably wait for Cataclysm.

I'm deleting all my toons bar my Death Knight and my Paladin, and pretty much rerolling all my characters from scratch. :3 I've already been through the old world enough that it's physically painful for me to quest there (Loremaster on two characters, exploration on lots, just a metric [bleep]tonne of achievement-whoring in general), so it's going to be nice seeing it shook up.

Wow.... the UI looks so much better and smoother now. I'll try get some screenshots up soon. The maps also look a lot better now too :D

Haven't had chance to play any characters yet though :<

So you're deleting all characters except the 2 that are fun to level?

Really? They're pretty much the lowest on my list of characters that are enjoyable to level. There's pretty much no way you can die, whatsoever, and they're generally boring on top of that. D:

uhh... why not just download it. You know, for free.

Very possible. Its like cell phones and minutes. The phone is cheap but using it costs.

Forgive me for my lack of knowledge concerning all this, but I can download it off the site, complete my free trial, then put in some kind of code to add subscription to my account, right? My friend said it wouldnt be posdible to borrow his copy because of something about a registration code or something like that.

You can download from the site, get a subscription (game card from irl store or credit card) and play the game. So yes, you're correct.

 

But my installer never asked for a registration code.

An accidental pull doesn't result in a death with those. They're boring at endgame but I enjoy easy questing :P When I pulled too many mobs with my mage I had to use 5 cooldowns and even then I died half the time.

Started doing a bit of PvP on my mage (BGs while I build up gear) am loving it so far. Have gone the last two AB battles without a single death and a bunch of kills.

Hunters start off with a pet from level 1

Human = Wolf

Dwarf = Bear

Hunter = Night/Frostsabre, I forget

Draenei = Moth

Worgen = Dog that kinda looks like a pug

Undead = Duskbat

Orc = Boar

Troll = Raptor

Tauren = Plainstrider

Belf = Dragonhawk

Goblin = Crab

 

Warlocks start with imp from level 1, as you can see above.

 

Will post more screenshots when I can be bothered to take them :D

Yeah, I enjoy the whole hecticness (this is not a word) thing with the other classes when you pull a tonne of mobs and escape just by the skin of your teeth. It's kinda exhilarating. :3

 

With them it's just like attack attack attack heal with AoW proc, Sacred Shield, Death Strike, Ghoul Sac, Bubble, Rune Tap ad nauseum until you're standing amongst a pile of corpses.

To each his own I guess :wink: .

 

I still haven't decided on a character for Cataclysm yet. Probably a discipline priest.
