In the end of November I’ve found that Blizzard was offering a 10 day trial period of World of Warcraft an so I decided do try the game.

As expected I was hooked instantly.

When the 10 day trial ended i bought myself a copy but never got to install it due to some lack of time. Finally I started the installation process. And I say started because it´s taking a little more than I initially thought.

The DVD installs in just a couple of minutes. The problem comes later with the patches that must be downloaded.

In total there are almost 5 GB to be downloaded just in patches and updates.

My internet connections is fast. But even so it’s taking almost 15 hours to complete this process. And I’m lucky because my internet plan has unlimited downloads.

But the cheaper plans only have 10 Gb of internet downloads. In just one day the limits is half used. For those people it will certainly make then go over the limit and pay additional traffic in the first month.

So WoW already used 5 Gb of internet traffic and used almost 2 hours of my time. And I’ve not even started playing it!
