Val and
Ee Lynn had been trying to get me play World of Warcraft since the begining of time.
And so, I have finally got myself to give the game a try. The process in itself is very painful though
First of all, I tried to download the free trial version but bloody starhub is so damn slow, it took me like one full day just to download a 3.16gig worth of game data. And then, at 82%, the download encountered error so I had to re-download everything.
This time round, I left my PC on the whole night but guess what? My bro shut down the PC on his way out to work the next morning! Then I realised that I had a copy of WOW, passed to me by Val eons ago in her attempt to get me started, so I happily tried to install the game instead. But Murphy's Law came into play and my CD-rom was somehow jammed. I cannot get it open!
And when I finally managed to somehow get it unjammed, and installed the game, I found out that the installed version was like a 1000 patches behind the current version (those who played online games before will know what I mean), and so I have to spend like another full day downloading the patches via bloody slow starhub.
And now, 3 days later, a night elf called 'Limpeh' finally came to the World of Warcraft.
