Question
I tried playing World of Warcraft from an old DVD I had. But it immediately starts downloading the expansion (I can see 8GB remaining at the bottom of the downloader) and won't let me play the game.
I do not want to download the expansion just want to play the original WoW.
Blizzard's website says I must have the latest patches to be able to play. Is this only true for Battle.Net's server or will I need to update to the latest expansion to be able to play? Also if I start playing the latest expansion (Cataclysm at the moment), will I be missing something that was found only in the original game?
Answer
You cannot play the original World of Warcraft as Cataclysm changed the map, starting areas, and other things significantly.
To clarify, this does not require you to buy any of the expansions, but it does require you to patch your game so that you're on the current version of the game. Even without buying the expansions there are many changes that will effect how you experience the game.
