[...] [World of Warcraft] Overall, after managing to install the game, I’ve had a fairly good time in The Burning Crusade. Seasoned gaming vet that I am, there’s stuff I feel they fell down on, but overall I’m happy. Today, the top 5 good things I’ve found, in no intelligible order. [...]

[...] Kill Ten Rats’ Oz – We’re having some slight techincal issues … There’s quite a few, many of which will cause the much questioned lack of digital download question to be thrown around a lot in the next few months. From the issues of upgrade keys that don’t work, to their patcher having to repatch 3 patches back and then sticking at 72%. [...]

Got the expansion on the 16th, did not install it right away because I feared problems, went raiding with the guild.

Raid ended at 11:30pm at which time server messages began calling for players to disconnect / reconnect to activate BC.

I disconnected then, installed BC without any problem, reconnected at 11:50 with BC, went to the portal. Disconnected as told at midnight, reconnected right away, went through the portal and began questing.

Not a single trace of a problem.

For me it was a very smooth expansion. Compared to EoF, where I had no technical problems, yet could not play the first night because the patcher needed to run for 14 hours, it was astounding.

My brother was 64 last night and probably 65 now.

I was up and playing in maybe 20 minutes. I play on Alleria and was fine until the local server time hit 6:30… then things went south. I guess it was everyone coming home from work. My wife and I couldn’t get ten feet w/out the server dropping hard.

I was playing about 20 minutes after I bought my copy of the game. I used a mirror site to get the patch and had no problems with my installation CDs. I am hearing of some problems where people hit the OK button very quickly between installation CDs which causes a freeze.

Same here – for me, the transition went smooth, with no real problems whatsoever. i did expect worse, to be honest.

Good luck to you – hope you can enjoy BC soon :)

Hi,

I’m sorry to hear so many having problems.

I received my pack from Amazon.co.uk as promised yesterday morning and installed the four disks in less than 30 mins. The disks went in very quick, but the setup needed to re-install the last two patches again.

I don’t have any Add-Ons at the moment, so perhaps that made it easier.

I took one of my 60′s to Shattrath City and created a new BE char. No problems with either.
