World of Warcraft on Dialup

[Le GoogelGuRu]

Is World of Warcraft playable on dialup? The patches seem virtually impossible to get though. I borrowed a friends disc and installed it and it all went fine, until it wanted to download patches. Turns out I need a little over a gigabyte of patches before I can play. If I can obtain those patches manually on some broad band connection (nobody has any real luck with the whole Blizzard Downloader thing) will I get a good latency with dialup?

lol i wouldn't try wow on dialup. im pretty sure you need a fast connection to have everything running smoothly (as well as a decent video card )

I hate people who try to play new multiplayer games online, it makes the game bad for everyone, lol.

Older games werent as big of a deal, but newer games (especially fps), need low-pings in order for the game to be enjoyable.

it is playable on dial up.. but please dont do it.. you play pretty fast 4 hours in a row (sometimes a bit longer i gues) so the phone bill at the end of the month surely wont be funny anymore.

You don't pay per hour on dialup... you pay the monthly fee and you can use it as long as you want. :/

Yeah in some countries ISp providers offer diffrent types of connection...some are dial up-Pay as you go so they only charge you for what you use.....but some are 1 monthly fee and like Jordan said you can use as long as you want

Jordan why dont you just broadband? Its not that expensive....I dunno where you live but over here in the uk i pay only £17.99 a month and my broadband is quite good and i play alot of online games
i wouldnt even try playing it on Dial up though...it would be real laggy.

I don't reccomend doing anything on dial up, let along gaming. My grandma has Dial Up and it makes me cry everytime I have to use it... lol
