When starting WoW, the launcher already checks the patch level and will download the patches required to play the game. If you want to do this manually, you can check for download mirrors for the patch, which are documented on third party sites like wowwiki and wowpedia.
A patch game download is generaly a patched version of the game. Which means that there are less bugs or there is something new added to the game.
Official wow patches are applied automatically, there is no way you can NOT download the patch. If there is a patch available, the client will update itself. If you choose not to update, you will not be able to play.
download a new patch. you go to the page where you normally find the maplestory download stuff or sumthin, scroll down, and look for a wizet patcher.
It should be automatic. If it's not for you I recommend blizzard's help page
Yes - DICE and EA laid the server backend work for the new maps and the patch about a week before the patch (ugh) was put in place.
Sometimes when you click on WoW, and log into your account it says new patch, and it loads to 100% then turns off WoW and opens a mini tab that shows the patch being downloaded.
Gotta pay SP for it. Search for that to find an answer if you need to
It depends on what kind of patch it is. If it is a bug-fix patch, then it should only take a few minutes to less than 20 minutes. If it is a content patch then maybe less than an hour. If it is a major content patch (pre-expansion/major content revision) expect it to take several hours. Of course this all depends on your internet connection and the amount of people trying to download the patch at the same time you are.
You automatically download new patches from blizzard downloaded every time you start WoW or click on your short-cut.
Assemble a new patch and replace the damaged patch with the new patch
as soon as a new item comes out download it quick cause it wont be out for long until cp patch it... but no you just have to download them quick
This method is no longer possible. You must download the new installer from batlle.net to play World of Warcraft.
