I bought the trial cd from eb games (see what's I'm getting kinda thing :laughing: )
The cd is not frigging working in my drive, tried on both my pcs.
It's not loading sh&$, it's just turning (I think) and the cd icon thingy is coming up by my pointer thing, kwim? :ponder:

Anyhow, the key worked ..and I joined up on WoW but how do I start the game.
Do I just go to WoW to start or to I have to have something downloaded first? :undecided: I'm getting ready to put my face through this computer..like NOW. :cry:

Here's the cd I have.

(twitches madly)

I cannot even make my own character chick. :embarassed:

I am so embarrassed and feel so stupid right now!!!
I just noticed it's a DVD!!!!!

I don't have a dvd player :undecided: :cry:

Can I still download the game showwhere?

I want to kick my own butt right now. :idea:

Damn, it's cheaper to go buy the full game, they charge to download from them :(
I have a valid/legal key, grrrr!
I'm so dumb. :sad:

You just need to be a registered member to dl the client. You do NOT need to be a paying member. Only difference there is how fast your dl will be, regular server takes a while, premium servers are rather speedy.

Buy a DVD burner. $50 at Best Buy for an internal LG 16x Dual Layer DVD/CD rewriter. You can get just a player for something like $30 if you shop around.

Lots of games are coming out on DVDs rather than CDs now, so it would be advantageous for you to go out and buy one.

Yep...that was going to be my suggestion too. Buy a cheap DVD player and stick in your PC. I think the original game is on maybe 6 CDs. I installed from the DVD and that was so much faster than swapping out CDs. I can't imagine how long it's going to take to download the entire game for install.
