World of Warcraft?

06si · 02-04-2007, 07:57 PM

I know I may not seem like the type of person that would play it, but I wanted to give it a shot. I am trying to install it on my new computer with windows vista and keep getting an error that it cannot install a new update (client patch 2.0.1). Does anybody who plays this know what I am talking about.

If anybody else plays this, what are your usernames:

Mine is Kennyg21

I just recently started as well.

I played Final FAntasy XI prior to it, but I just didnt have the time to continue with that game. IT was great, but it just moved so slow and I would've had to have done 8 hour days on the game to get anywhere.

I haven't had any problems installing or playing the game, but I'm running Windows XP.

Have you checked Blizzard's webpage for any support? Maybe shoot them an email.

(And I dont look like the person who plays video games like WoW, but I sooo am)

DON'T play WoW. it has a way of sucking up all the free time you have in your life. i played for like a year thinking i would never really get into it. ended up playing for hours

Do not play WoW. I played or about 8 months and finally got the balls to quit. It will ruin your life. I'm not even being funny. I lost friends, almost a girlfriend, and most of my social life due to this game. It will happen to you.

i have vista ultimate... and everything worked fine for me :-/

I believe you. The same thing happened to me when I used to play Socom 2 online for PS2. I would basically come home from school and sit in my bedroom playing it. My friends ended up ditching me and becoming better friends with my younger brother.

I have 4 level 60's on Dalaran (Horde) and I just rolled a UD mage on the new PVP server Blood Furnace. Cool game, but I've barely been playing it lately.

***Special Ringpop*** · 02-05-2007, 04:45 PM

Anyone see the South Park episode about World of Warcraft?

Could be the best thing I've ever watched in my life.

**Gonzo** · 02-05-2007, 04:49 PM

I decided a while ago to never start playing for the exact reasons listed in this thread.

Awesome! Will do. I have a bunch of RL friends that rolled on the server. I have a 20 UD mage named "Tastesfishy". I'll look you up next time I'm on.
