I have the original WoW disks that I bought in 2004. I also bought BC when it came out but I cannot find the disks for that (lost during my last move). I bought WOTLK and Cata through digital download.
Is it possible to simply re-sub and then download all the content straight from Blizzard, or do I still need to start with my old disks?
TIA!

I had a dream. It was an incredible dream. When I awoke, I had a huge mess to clean up.

And really, considering the "upgrade hell" you'd go through if you tried to patch up to current stuff, it's less data just to pull the latest client directly.

It's simpler, but a monster download. Start it when you go to bed, it might be finished by the time you get home from work the next day.

Actually, if you pop in the original CD's or DVD if you had the collectors edition, it just a complete download for you right after anyways. It isn't "upgrade hell anymore", its just pointless.

I survived to the end and got nothing out of it, but hey.

Yeah this is what I was thinking. When I unsubbed last october the game was taking up like 33 gigs of HDD space, so obviously that number would be higher now.

Don't forget the 64 bit client if you are interested in trying that out.

I'm using Windows 7 Pro 64 bit, wouldn't that client be preferable/necessary?
