The last time I installed WoW was around the first month it came out. When i went to install it on Vista, it took an abnormally long time (I dont recall the amount of time it took with XP). The purpose of this post is to compare the times of the patching and installs with other people. The install took about 15-25min per CD (5 disks, not including BC expansion) Patching took about 1-2 hours per big patch...you know how it does one, then you gotta enter the game, and it downloads something or another, then it restarts and when you open it again it has another big patch...Ya, im on my 3rd big patch right now, and had to leave to work.So im going to go home to see the progress of that. I will update this when i figure that out. Thanks everyone.
