So last night while I'm at home sick from strep throat and bronchitis ... Ain't no body got time for that! I chose to begin the task if downloading the change onto my current computer... Alas this was no small feat!
When I had played the game before you popped in a disk waiting for hours as the patching went to work but then finally logged on and played... Well no more! I popped in said disk and then made new battlenet account ( now required) and waited... After a night of horrid log in issues I called blizzard the next day and spoke with "Jason" who helped me solve all those issues and assured me I was close to playing... O.o well what happened you ask?
At 30% completion my computer popped up a window saying corrupted file D: what?! So I called again and spoke with "amber" who went through a checklist and quickly found that by using the disks I was royally fucked! Oh joy but to my delight she said wipe the computer clean from WoW and then download a digital version (allegedly faster) and be playing within the hour, it was 3:05 pm. :/ ok I say and follow her instructions and also find if my friend sends *the scroll of resurrection * we both get huge wonderful in game bonuses ... Yay
So I have Jenny do this, and accept and am pleased with the benefits we will both receive ... Eventually damnit
At 4:05 pm my download is not complete and I see my account says in big red letters :canceled WELL WTF! >:(
I quickly call again (third time) and speak with "johnnie" who assures me that it's only because I'm under the new 7 day free trial and it will go away once I'm subscribed after that :/ ok.
At 6:20 my download is at 5% yes that's right fucking 5! But I suppose I should just be happy that I will get to play soon...
But am thankful for the nice support from blizzard employees who had to deal with my 190 questions :)
So I type this ... Still waiting to join Jenny in Azeroth and to collect my damn pandas hopefully this will speed up and I will be playing shortly ;)
