I just bought world of warcraft and all the expansions off the WOW site with the cataclysm preorder. I have a wrath of the lich king install disk that ive installed the game with jsut wondering whats the best way to get it all up to date from there?
Do I get the V3.0 to V3.3 patches then intall the version 4 patches after or just the version 4 patch only?
Sorry if this is answered elsewhere but I cannot find it and im a noob.

Download directly from battle.net - they have the current executable there (permitting you have the cap, but most people here are on ADSL2/Reach plans by now).

This file should get you patched up to 4.0: http://games.on.net/file/37719/World_of ... USAU_-_RAR
This one should be next: http://games.on.net/file/38168/World_of ... 3164_-_USA
After applying those you could just open the launcher.exe and let it patch itself from there, or you could get: http://games.on.net/file/38277/World_of ... 3205_-_USA
And: http://games.on.net/file/38611/World_of ... .0.3_-_USA
And apply those before letting the launcher take over.

If you're playing on Mac the Mac versions of those files should all be available too.
And I'm not giving any guarantees that the above is the correct/fastest upgrade path. But it should work.
