The thing is, I am becoming desperate for a REALLY good RPG. Until recently I've been very into strategy games such as Medeival II and FPSs like FEAR. But I don't there are going to be any excellent RPGs for single player.

What is the Wrath of the Lich King? Is that yet to be released?

I'd recommend just buying the Battlechest and using the free month that comes w/ the game. That way you're only down $40 if you don't like it and you have the addon if you do. I'm at about the 1 month mark and want to make it 70 at least.

That's a good idea.

Best RPG? Zelda!! :D

Zelda for the PC?

Ah...I remember the good old days playing Zelda: The Ocarina of Time on my Nintendo64.

Is Wrath of the Lich King an upcoming expansion pack? What happens when you choose your character, but then a expansion pack comes out with a new race/class you want to be?

Wrath of the Lich King is not released yet and it wont have new classes or races. Burning Crusade did have 2 new races which many players started playing them.

So, nothing happens. u can keep playing the older race or start a new one. Note that the classes (where the variety in gameplay comes in) among the races remain the same..

Actually Wrath of the Lich King will have a new class called the "Dark Knight" or something similar but that class will start at high level and requires u to have a high level character in the first place.

The game is about $15 a month, newest expansion pack is Burning Crusade. Even with the pack, you can't access the content until you are level 60.

RDX1 summed it up pretty well.

The BC Xpac contains content for level 58+ characters (as well as the Draenei and Blood Elf starting zone).

The real game starts at 70.

abulfares is right for the most part. WotLK is still in the works and no release date has been set.

WotLK will not introduce new races, but it will introduce the Death Knight class.

As for your question, What happens when you choose your character, but then a expansion pack comes out with a new race/class you want to be?, if you wish to start a new character you can. Nothing happens to your 'original' character, and your new character starts at level 1 (with the special exception of the Death Knight).

i am also interested in playing WoW.

i previously played guild wars when it first came out. specially for the reason of no "subscription fee" and also because of the PVP.

i wanted to ask before deciding to buy and play wow, about the PVP.

i hate PvE and i hate the idea of spending relentless hours doing stupid quests.

whats happens with WoW and pvp. how does the game play out with pvp and wow.

because in guildwars when you play PVP u go straight into fighting other parties or guild vs guild or random party fights.

if someone could elaborate more please of the PVP side of wow, when you first begin etc.

ps: otherwise i might just wait for warhammer online

1: wow rocks (been playing since it came outwith only a 4 month break ending about 4 months ago)

2: get the battle chest, as stated, it has the expansion and a free month.

3: The expansion DOES have content for starters, aka the draeni and blood elf races, and their respective starting zones.

4: Wrath of the Lich King has no release date yet, though it is expected by christmas of this year. Still a long time away

5: It's not that expensive a subscription fee, considering a lot of people make it in an hour or less, it's pretty darn good for a month of playing

6: If you want the game for pvp, join a pvp server, fi you like roleplaying, join a roleplaying server, if you like pve, then join a pve server. You can of course still do battlegrounds which are pvp events in the pve game

7: Blizzard screws up, quite a bit actually, but a lot of it is over-hyped, a lot of people just like to complain about anything they can.

8: there's new content all the time, and it's been a thrill seeing all the changes come to pass over the years

    • Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) 18.1.5.5

      By Copernic · Posted

      Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) 18.1.5.5 by Razvan Serea Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) is a utility for completely removing AMD/NVIDIA/INTEL graphics drivers and related packages from your system, attempting to eliminate all leftovers (including registry entries, folders and files, driver store). Though AMD/NVIDIA/INTEL drivers can usually be removed via the Windows Control Panel, this uninstaller tool was created for situations where standard uninstall fails, or when you need to fully remove NVIDIA or ATI graphics card drivers. After using this driver cleaner, your system will behave as though it’s the first time you’re installing a new driver—similar to a fresh Windows installation. As with all such tools, we recommend creating a restore point beforehand, allowing you to undo changes if issues arise. If you're having trouble installing an older or newer driver, try it—there are reports that it resolves such problems. Recommended usage: The tool can be used in Normal mode but for absolute stability when using DDU, Safemode is always the best. Make a backup or a system restore (but it should normally be pretty safe). It is best to exclude the DDU folder completely from any security software to avoid issues. You do NOT need to uninstall the driver prior using DDU. Requirements: .NET Framework 4.8 Compatible with Windows 7, 8, 8.1, 10, and 11 (32-bit or 64-bit) Note: Using on Insider Preview builds is at your own risk. Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) 18.1.5.5 changelog: Added 'Reset to recommended' button for the Options. General fixes and improvements.

WACUP 1.99.51.24568 Preview changelog: Fixed a deadlock seen from the recent crash reports when doing some of the drag + drop actions within the media library window Fixed a loading crash seen related to a problem with some of the artwork cache image files being restored which should now be better handled allowing for the bad image to be removed without it failing Fixed a deadlock seen from the recent crash reports when the internal metadata cache clearing is triggered which could block the main ui thread for too long with this now being moved to a background thread Fixed some performance issues with some of the methods related to determining artwork support which mainly affected the local library import / refresh (this is still slower for some compared to other players because there's more data & artwork aspects being checked for which means doing more processing on a single file despite the best of attempts to reduce duplicate / heavy processing where possible) Fixed a crash with the JTFE based missing files hotkey which no one seems to have used for an age for this to appear (maybe it's time to seriously consider stripping out features that aren't being used) Fixed how some of the file types which use extra information to reference their sub-songs is handled which was preventing some from being correctly resolved back to their base file (noticed fixing above) Fixed an issue with the handling of files with underscores in their filepath which wasn't being correctly handled causing some of the filename to be lost when shown as the title if title reading is delayed Fixed a few things that might be behind NotSoDirect not being stable for some setups though am still not certain that the changes done for this are going to fully resolve the problem from the crash reports Fixed the OS toast handling when there's no prior shortcut in the OS start menu to now create the shortcut (needed to allow the yes/no buttons for the new build / post-release toast) to be done as a hidden one so it's less likely to cause annoyance for those not wanting to see it whilst still allowing this less than ideal OS api implementation requirement to be met to avoid toasts without the needed buttons Fixed a regression when moving from taglib1 to taglib2 which broke some of the handling in place to allow for external programs to still access files when wacup has a held open cached instance of the file Everything else Updated cppwinrt (gen_win10shell.dll) to 3.0.260520.1 (26 May 2026) Updated libcurl (libcurl.dll) to 8.2.1 (24 Jun 2026) Updated Monkey's Audio (in_ape.dll) to 13.15 (28 Jun 2026) Updated mpg123 (mpg123.dll) to 1.33.6 (6 Jun 2026) Updated OpenSSL (libcurl.dll) to 3.5.7 (9 Jun 2026) Updated pugixml to 1.16 (16 Jun 2026) Updated taglib (tag2.dll) to 2.3.0 (11 May 2026) Updated vgmstream (in_vgmstream.dll) to the latest Git commit from 28 Jun 2026 Download: WACUP 64-bit | 9.6 MB (Freeware) Download: WACUP 32-bit View: WACUP Website | Screenshots Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware

      "over a thousand engineering hours" and started selling it but could not take a couple of minuets to send an AI email to ask permission. What an expensive lesson.

Tor is a network of virtual tunnels that allows people and groups to improve their privacy and security on the Internet. The Tor software protects you by bouncing your communications around a distributed network of relays run by volunteers all around the world: it prevents somebody from watching your Internet connection and learning what sites you visit, it prevents the sites you visit from learning your physical location, and it lets you access sites which are blocked. The Tor Browser Bundle lets you use Tor on Windows, Mac OS X, or Linux without needing to install any software. It can run off a USB flash drive, comes with a pre-configured web browser to protect your anonymity, and is self-contained.
