Hi,
. . . what does Blizzard plan for the distribution of WOW game patches and "content updates" once the game is released?
Supposedly they will use the patch tool that has been distributed (twice, I think) and tested. And if they do it by reasonable amounts, it may not be too much of a drain on your bandwidth. However, if you do have a limit to the time per month you have or if you are paying by the hour, I can see how WoW's periodic upgrades could mess you up. Four 100 MB patches a month (just guesstimating) would represent over 1/4 of your monthly 60 hour allotment.
Still, 60 hours per month seems a bit low to play a MMOG of any type even without worrying about upgrades.
