It said that it would start when I began playing WoW and would keep going after I exited... Is there supposed to be a bar somewhere? Lol. The background download.

I was promised free cookies.

When I logged onto the game about 20 min ago the message on the launch page said that it would start the install after I exited the game. I, exited and I have 3 hours to wait for the whole thing to be loaded in.

Can't wait for the full patch to go live, I have been looking forward to it for a while.

As you may have noticed, we released the first part of the background download earlier today. However, this background download is not yet fully active for all customers. We expect that the background download will be active for everyone very soon. So please bear with us if you are given indicators that the background download is ready, but it never starts. It will start soon.

Thanks for your patience.

So everyone is talking about the new patch and new downloader update, I've yet to receive either. Not sure why. I understand you've said that the content released today isn't available for everyone, but I didn't get the one released prior to today.

Any insight?

Not talking about the download, rather the downloader update that was released either yesterday or the day before (cannot remember, as I still didn't have it up until a few moments ago, when I was contacted by Blizzard Tech Support.)

does anyone have any idea what this 3.0.1 patch is going to consist of? Considering wotlk hasn't been released i'm guessing it's not really anything having to do with that but i've been wrong...

Q u o t e:
(Blue)

With the release of Wrath of the Lich King approaching, we wanted to provide you with some important information. In preparation for the expansion, we will be issuing a new content patch in the coming weeks. Much like the patch made available shortly before The Burning Crusade's release, this content patch is designed to bridge current game content with that of the expansion and will contain some exciting changes and additions.

We have outlined some of the larger features scheduled to release with the patch below:

New class spells and talents
Stormwind Harbor
Barbershops in capital cities
Zeppelin towers outside of Orgrimmar and Tirisfal Glades
Two brand-new Arenas featuring challenging new layouts, terrain hazards, and moving obstacles
Guild calendar
Hunter pet skill revamp
New profession: Inscription

As mentioned above, this is not a comprehensive list, just some of the major highlights. We’ll post the full patch notes as soon as they’re available. Regarding Inscription, please note that all Burning Crusade players will be able to select Inscription as one of their two professions and level up to a skill level of 375 with it. Upon the release of Wrath of the Lich King, players who purchase and install the expansion will be able to continue leveling in Inscription and the other professions beyond 375.

Just to make sure everybody's 100% clear on this, the data that is being downloaded now is "pre-staging" the bulk of the patch, not actually installing it. My understanding is that there will likely be additional small chunks of data downloaded at a later time, and that the "2.4.3-3.0.1 patch" itself won't be *installed* until then.

Just didn't want anybody freaking out needlessly that the 821MB patch might spawn bear mount-sucking micro black holes or anything. /wink

You should see a little blue icon on your lower taskbar. It looks like a blue tornado thingy scroll over it and it should say Blizzard background downloader.
