Initial WOW Retail Patch Size? - nobbie - 11-27-2004
A question for those of you who have not participated in the U.S. Beta but have only installed the official WOW retail version:
How large (in MegaBytes) was the first, initial patch that you had to download when you first logged on to the retail servers?

~19 Meg. Took me about a half hour, iirc. It took less time this time than it did during open beta. (Yes, I had uninstalled the beta client because at that time I was NOT going to buy the game. Funny how things change. ;) )
Edit: Heh, the easy thing to do is check the directory. It's exactly 19,877 KB in size. :)

IIRC it was 20 megs.

Thanks, I was a bit worried about my 56K modem connection :)
Will there be also standalone patches for WOW from time to time (like in Diablo II/WarCraft III)?

I doubt it, they seem to want to keep it distributed. But I'm planning on keeping a few of them on my website so that fellow lurkers on slower connections can get them more readily than the downloader. I'm not going to make any of the stuff I put up there full common knowledge but for fellow lurkers who really need it I'll put up links to a few things.
