New PC, how to re-install WoW??

#0 - Aug. 12, 2010, 12:09 a.m.

I just bought a new computer and was wondering what the easiest/quickest way to get WoW installed was?

I started by loading my original CDs for the original WoW. But when I went to play it so the downloader could update me so I could move on to Burning Crusade. I couldn't even log in because it didn't use the battlenet login. So i'm not sure how to even get WoW loaded again at this point.

I have all the CDs/DVDs for the original and both expansions but can't figure out how to get them to work.

Can I just load the original game off the CDs, then not patch it,
then load BC, and not patch it,
and then load WoLK and then do a big patch at the end?

Any ideas?

Thanks........

Q u o t e:

That's where the problem starts. When I tried to log into Battle.net earlier this week with my email address (the same email I've had before I even started paying WoW) I wasn't able to log in. Apparently, the email I used wasn't even registered with Battle.net. So I figured I never merged my WoW account with Battle.net. So I go ahead and make an account, and click merge WoW accounts...and find out that my account has already been merged with another Battle.net account.

This is where I'm really confused. If I already had merged my old account with the Battle.net system (one I either forgot about or it was hijacked), then shouldn't my list of games show that I have the WoTLK expansion?

If you need assistance getting back into control (or finding) an old account - Billing would be the best first step, NÃ¯x.
