I think so.

No, you can download the game.

No, you have already downloaded it.

I don't understand what you mean. You can download the game from the wow
website, since there is a "10 days free trial".

The CD Keys are only usefull to create your account, or to upgrade it to
BC. Since you had BC a year ago, I suppose you played it and that your
account is uppgraded. The only think you need is a computer with WoW and BC
installed. |

Yes, you must install the original World of Warcraft first, then
install Burning Crusade. Then you will need to download some big
updates. (Note: Don't run the original WoW before you install
Burning Crusade or it will do a lot of unnecessary downloading.)
>Question.
>Do I have to pay for the game again?
No, nothing extra to the monthly subscription.
>Do I have to pay for the Expansion again?
No.

I believe you can download the original game from
http://teaser.worldofwarcraft.com or http://teaser.wow-europe.com
(depending on where you are.)
>I do have the CD Key for Expansion written down, but not the origional game.
>Any other help for re installing etc would be helpful.
You only need CD keys to create a WoW account, and to upgrade the
account with TBC. If you already did this when you played
previously, you don't need the keys again.
>Why did I delete the darn game...?
>Almost 6GB downloading??? not good.

There are trial DVDs about which contain the original game, for a
small cost (99p in the UK). They do have the full version of the
original WoW (not burning crusade) so you can use one of these to
save some downloading.

I assume you have your tongue firmly in your cheek, right?
I have a very large (5' wide X 3' deep) 6 drawer cabinet that has 3
drawers filled with computer disks. I can always put my hands on the
primary disks (Photoshop, Visual Studio, etc), but I have had to buy
replacement game disks on several occasions over the past 25 years when
i just couldn't find the originals and was setting up a new computer or
disk.

Not even close. I play maybe 10-12 hours a week, and that's on the high
end. I don't even have a toon out of Honor Hold yet. >> Stay informed about: Returning player needs help |

We had three of them until about 9 months ago when one of them finally
bit the dust. Of the two, one prints approximately 50-60 work orders
per day in our service department while the other is used as a backup
teletype terminal when someone is using the main printer to run 300-400
page reports.
Believe it or not, ADP still provides active support for these dinosaurs. >> Stay informed about: Returning player needs help |
