And There Was A Shriek Heard Around the World.
The following is my thought process starting at 10:01 last night.
OMGBETA
Wait, maybe it’s a scam.

…what’dya mean I can’t copy my rogue?
<0 copies left>
GIVE. COPY.
<0 copies left>
I dislike you.
<3 premade copies left>
Oh hey, premades. That’s… that’s okay.
<Male orc rogue or male gnome rogue?>
WHY DO YOU HATE ME I can’t stand playing male characters, and I can’t stand playing gnomes. Gnomes are just too silly (look at them!), and all the non-gnome male models are ridiculously over-muscled. Well, I suppose trolls are acceptable, and undead… well, undead look kind of silly, but they have that awesome dance
YOUR DIGRESSION DISPLEASES THE GODS OF SQUEE gods of squee? LOOK AT THE LEVEL 80 ROGUES
…wait, this is for the PvP testDAMMIT
…well, at least I’ll get to play with all the new shinies. Wish I could copy my rogue though…
Time passes.
NO COMPUTER I DO NOT WISH TO REBOOT
More time passes.
Oh hey, it’s done downloading.
License Agree-yes whatever take my firstborn I’m not reproducing anyway I hate kids
Instal-YES PLZ
Time continues passing.
<Downloading “WoW-3.0.1-enUS-patch.exe”>
What
<9.5 MB of 1.15 GB>
Didn’t I just
<About 9 hours>
WHAT.
So yeah, apparently I’m downloading the 3.0 patch or something… or the patch to the Beta or something… and I have to go to class at 9:30 and my computer wants to reboot itself which means I’ll have to do this all again.
:shrieks:

i did love reading this i had beta already down loaded got the error 121 last night which the only way to fix on beta is uninstal reinstal but whatever and well got home frome school and what do i find another patch
Yeah, I just ran into an error of that nature myself… after taking all of yesterday to download, patch, download, patch, “The patch could not be applied please reinstall.”
On the upside, if I do ever get the client running, I’ll have my rogue there to play with.
Hello, Deadly Brew!
