Hi, I thought I should give WoW a try since everyone around me plays WoW... I just never tried it since it was the "pay-to-play" game. Despite the fact that I wasn't really impressed on the first hour of playing WoW on that same night I wanted to give it little more time one it. So I have played 1 more hour on it and said 'This ain't so bad after all(still confused about WoW)'. I wanted to show it to my brother that Macbook actually can run WoW so after couple hours of offline I tried to play WoW again but then the game wouldn't even start up. I get to the point where I can choose between option and play button.
I read around on google and some one told me to Reinstall it so I did. Still the same problem so I was really pissed and deleted it.

The error was saying that Blizzard internet connection couldn't find my internet server even though my internet was working fine.

Please help whats up with this!! Sorry for the long story :p
Thanks

p.s. I have noticed not many people are online... is it because the trial version is different from real one??

Can you be more specific about the error like what it said (more exactly) and during what stage of the login process it happened?

I'm thinking it's either
• the realm you made you character on was coincidentally having problems at that time or
• there was a problem with your internet/modem/router relating to WoW, since you said your internet was working fine otherwise.

No, everyone is off enjoying the new content areas in the expansions, so you won't fine as many people in the old zones (also depends on your realm of course).

When you reach level 70 and leveling to 80, and on a PVP server, you will be swearing at them to leave you alone.

Haha lol thats funny oh by the way I have fixed the problem so thank you and ^you too ;) thanks. I just redownloaded the whole thing and reinstalled and dada it worked~. So most people just play PVP? when I was browsing through the realm like I could see 50% people on normal/50% PVP ... I couldn't decide which one to try lol

WoW is in fact interesting but I don't think I will have enough courage(friends playing along from the scratch) to pay monthly on it. Besides... I won't have time so I don't want to get hooked now and have trouble getting it off my back in College lol

Thanks
