I am downloading the alpha right now... gonna take about 3 days though cuz I am getting it on irc from a guy who logs off every 2 or so hours. Does anyone in the forums play it already?

i would love to play it, it sounds very interresting

sadly my computer doesn't hold the requirements, nor do i have the connection to run it (i'm only on 56k, and that would suck) so i'm gonna have to wait...

If the dude is ever on long enough for me to download it then sure. You wanna just use irc to transfer it?

I don't know which one is faster... my internet is slow as hell because I am on wireless and about 10 miles away from the transmitter.

Maybe. I dunno if my isp will let me. He is always bitching about me using up all his bandwidth when I am just downloading 2 or 3 songs. Also, I can't open any ports, so I am willing to bet that it will be much slower then that. You might just wanna use bittorrent if you can. I can't because of my firewall so I have to use irc.

If you can use bittorrent, then go to <a href='http://www.wow-alpha.tk/' target='_blank'>http://www.wow-alpha.tk/</a> and download it from there.
