Thinking of gettin Wow

[Drowzy]

Hey guys ive recently been thinking of buyin Wow, However i was just wondering about a couple of things:

a. Is there a lag problem? I live in australia and In games like guild wars/rakion I have found it annoying to play with other US players, or is the lag un noticable?

b. Does warcraft require a powerful graphics card?

c. If I do end up buyin wow any recomendations of what to start with? I am a fan of the night elf in warcraft 3 xD.

1. Lag problems are more often coming from your own system rather than the game server. The major "market squares" in some of the cities tend to be laggy due to the mass of people standing around in there, although this has become much less of an issue now that outland has drawn away all the idling max level players.

2. Used to run fine on my old Radeon 9200SE. Looks much better with my current video card though.

3. My first character was I night elf druid due to the same reason you give there. And I still play her as my main.

[Drowzy]

I live in australia:) and do you need a credit card to pay?

[Stigg]

YOu need a credit card to register...then after that you can buy gamecards at any local store.....but you will need one to begin playing.

You don't need to by TBC to start with :)

You can get a 10 day free trial. Game cost me £10 (about $20 US), first month free. Not that expensive to get to play for 40 days to see what you reckon.

Not sure if its the same in Aussie, but in america here many game stores have 5$ (USD) trail games cd's near the registers...they come with a free pass and a key to get you started, that might be a good option :grin:

So I need a Credit card O_O, It doesnt just let you use Prepaid things? If i buy the game? I know trials requires credit but does it require a credit card if I am payin by prepaid?

[DevilDare]

no, if u r planning on using pre paid game cards than u can. When u register and get to the payment point u will need just to select pre-paid game card or something like that. Its at the bottom of the page. U put your code and woila!
After 60 days u need to buy another one, but this time in your account management you click add game card input code and another 60 days is in your acc.

oh forgot to say, u can only use pre paid on EU servers ;)

You DO NOT NEED a credit card to pay with. I used my DEBIT card and its fine.

Its a Visa Electron.

I dont have any card, just cash:P tho i can buy the prepaid thing
