World of Warcraft
My son has just bought world of warcraft (WOW). It is driving me mad. When he got it we loaded all the disk on to his releatively new PC. That all went well, until we had to download a patch that was stuck behind a firewall.Eventually got the firewall out the way but the download still takes between 7 and 9 hours. Why does it have all these patches? We have had to download about 5 of them now each taking several hours.It seems he spends more time awaiting patches to download than acctually playing it. Any ideas please????

If it's any consolation, this particular patch was unusually longer than normal. They are only usually about 10 mins max and happen every few weeks.
Because the game is an online one, they have to keep updating it and ironing out bugs.
Believe me, the game's worth it, your son will love it.

well worth the wait. i recently got a new hard drive, re-installed the game and must have been somewhere near finishing patching when i had the great idea of joining my old hard drive to the new hard drive and copying the files. To do this i had to delete and the stuff i had just re-installed but didn't mind as i was so sure it would all work .. it didn't. don't know why but it all went wrong so i had to start from scratch again and wait close to 2 days from start to finish. Have a go, it's great, i'm 29, my partners 38 and my son's 8 and we've all got characters. It gets that bad sometimes i've thought about getting a second pc to stop the arguments ! have fun

The thing is though Boo, you dont restrict it to your husband. You kick everyone's ass or at least bend their ear a little!
But to answer Mr Foz, the game is most certainly worth it. The original cost, the time taken downloading the updates, the many, many hours playing it. Especially if you get in with a good group of people, it can be immense fun. The only problem is.........can you stop?
Good luck.
