noob help on installing WoW

Mr. White · 12-30-2005, 01:18 AM

Hey guys I'm installing my first MMORPG game and need a little help. I just bought WoW today and I really want to play it, but I'm on winter vacation at the moment and I want to play it here until I go back home. I'm a noob at installing computer games period because im mostly a console gamer but i've somewhat converted into PC gaming after I beefed my pc up a little bit. But my question is, will I have any problems installing and setting up an online account and playing WoW at this current location and then installing and playing when I get home??

I've never played WoW before, but my guess is you install it on the compute, then once its installed you have to either log into an exisiting account or make a new one, if this is true then you shouldnt have a problem installing it on another PC.

so an Authentication Key wouldn't matter?

No you wont. With WoW you only use your authentication key to make an aco****. So you can just use the same account log in when you get home.

Don't I have to have a Game Card or put in a credit card number to play it? The way I figured was that it would give me my free month and then let me buy a game card or put it on Credit card when my month expired

I think that if you buy the game it comes with 30-days of service for free, you may need to put in a game card/credit card first, but it shouldnt charge it until the free period is over.

Thanks for the help guys, I appreciate it, looks like I'm gonna have to save up my money for a game card before I even play the game since neither of my parents like the idea of using a credit card for this reason, but thanks for the great responses.
