Hi, I know nothing of Wow, but want to play in China.
I hate Noobs and now I have turned into one.

I'll try and construct a top twenty list of things to do to prevent the future spawning of Noobs like me.

No.1- Get the game (Want to play in China, but in English).
Searched the forum ("download Wow") and found the following link

https://login.blizzard.fileplanet.com/login.aspx?r=http://www.fileplanet.com/betas/wow_raf_key.aspx

This says- "Free client download"

Just to confirm- Is this the full game? What's missing etc.?

Game downloading and install instructions can be found here: https://wow-in-chinese.forum2jeux.com/general-f1/subscribe-to-wow-china-last-update-2008-05-09-t4.htm

Step 2: Once one has the game one has to choose a realm. Which one to choose from?

Depends where u r. Beijing, SH, GD.. etc. Search the forum for information where people are playing. Good luck

You can download the US client via BitTorrent...you have to DL 6.5 Go ... it takes a while.
Then you have to follow the instructions on the FAQ page...it is very easy because Globuline translated everything...
Join us on MaDuoLan server...we'll help you to start.

The steps so far:

1. Get the game (more detailed instructions will be documented soon...)
2. Watch Youtube videos. Look for "World of Warcraft" and "Beginner"
3. Visit http://www.worldofwarcraft.com
See quickstart and character information etc.
