New WOW Patch today -- Dressing room added

My time card expired yesterday. I have a bad cold and I don't feel like going out to buy another right now.

Probably 100 or 200 megs. There larger content patches are usually in that range.

Eh sorry about that. But hey, everyone needs a break from WoW right? Hope you feel better.

Same here. I know the feeling. [/QUOTE]I think it will definantly be worth the wait though, I have been looking forward to the stuff in this patch for quite a while.
I even started fishing with my druid so I could take part in the competition!

The patch is 53.66mb, although it's always a bit larger than it says.

It's better than most other WoW patches I've DLed on patch days, it started pretty quickly, but that might be because it's 7:30am Luckily I have school so I have to get up.

My Wireless is running at 18Mbps (so it says when I double click the wireless thing in the system tray but then drops as low as two. It's usually stationary at 1Mbps when I want to play WoW.

I'll test the patch out tonight, any comments on it from those who have already got it?

I have only heard good things so far so i can't wait to get home and try it out, though I expected it to be a bit bigger with all the cool new stuff they have added in...

Oh well, as long as it's all there I won't complain

Ack the Blizzard Downloader sucks for this patch for some reason. Usually by now my modem could have DLed a 100+MB patch. In 12 hours, I've only DLed 45% of this. F*** it for now. I've got things to do online

yeah, I know what you mean.
If you go here you can download the patch manually

It's only 53 MB so it not too hard on our little modems.

Ah thank god it finally finished DLing. We began the download yesterday morning at 7:00 am. Stopped it at 6:00 pm, then restarted it at 9:00 pm. And it finished at 6:20 am. Nearly 20 hours of downloading a puny 56 MB. Not normal but I'm grateful the hellish wait is done with.
