I cant even play anymore errors while patching. The solution to my problem according to blizz replace my hardware!!!!! I'm going to start changing out perfectly good parts because the blizz updater is a pos. I never had more of a reason to sell an account than I do now.
The installer was unable to read the file "C:Program FilesWorld of WarcraftDatacommon.MPQ". This error may be caused by problems with the media or drive at C:--for example, a scratched or dirty CD-ROM/DVD-ROM, hard drive corruption, or a networking problem while downloading the installer. (The data being read was "WorldGENERICPASSIVEDOODADSAHNQIRAJHorde_Metal05.m2", and the error code was 0.) If this problem persists, please contact Blizzard Technical Support.

Unusual to say the least, i have patched 2 different desktops (neither anything special and running W2k) and a laptop (brand new, Vista) without any issues at all from what i can see so far.
As for all other complaining about the patch, what the hell is wrong? It is a patch day and as with all patch days since release there may be some teething problems. I don't know of any major patch day on any game that has gone completely to plan and anyone with half a brain knows that you can generally wipe the patch day itself as a playing day just in case there are issues found.
It is 'ONE' freeking day for the love of Pete, it's not like Blizzard have announced that they have closed the game down for good or the sky is falling in! There are wars raging all over the world, global warming, a world financial crisis and unemployment is rising fast, lets all get a little perspective about the problem of having to wait a couple of hours to play a game!!!
It must be Thursday, i never could get the hang of Thursdays.
I laugh at your ignorance and i laugh at everyones ignorance that believe this. Im not here to flame WoW....that much. I hate this game and i hate blizzard but in the same aspect i respect blizz for bringing so many to this beloved genre...
WAR is WoWs competetion...and they know it...And Blizz is slightly scared Mythic has birthed one of the best MMO's ever(even though it was shortly lived due to ToA) and that would be DAoC and now with the finacial push they had by EA they birthed possibly another one with WAR.
WAR just released...just like WoW ...it sucked and all MMO's do upon release..give it 3-6 months and then lets see who reigns supreme.Im not a fan boy and i enjoyed the countless zombie like hours i spent in WoW...grinding because thats all there is to do...IS TO GRIND!
WoW is not a true MMO...Only reason(for what i can see and to some extent is true) WoW is still running strong is because of all the million fans they had pre-WoW....so let your mind chew on those tid bits...Because i honestly dont care if yo ucall me a troll....
When did facts become trolling?
Sorry but you don't know what you are talking about. WoW is reaching people that never played a computer game, it's a social phenomenon that maybe only The Sims managed to accomplish, or Myst, but in a MMO. Like the english man from WAR said, WoW is the Beatles, and no band can compare to the social impact they had. Not talking about quality here (although WoW pours quality everywhere, yes I know it has many negative and absurd features GOD YES), but WoW has something that hooks kids, newbies, and even hardcores, and if you want to play with friends, WoW is the way to go for milions.
1. You posted that the servers would be down from 2am - 2pm... it's 9:30pm. You are 7 HOURS overdue. Some servers had problems, but not all. My server was up at 12:00pm central. 2. Why the hell would you try to patch 1.2g?? Seems like someone is scrambling to compete with the success of WAR (yeah, the game you ripped your ideas from). If you had used the patcher to download the patch prior to yesterday, you could have gotten the whole thing ahead of time. I had 98% of the patch downloaded before yesterday. The patcher has been this way for as long as I can remember. 3. Your website AND forums are both inaccessible! So how do we find out what's wrong with the game?? Not that surprising for a game with 10 million customers. Did you try both the NA and European websites? There's always customer support, plus in game you can ask for help if you can actually get into the game. With the 1.2 BILLION dollars you made last year, funny how none of that went into make the technology of the game better. Oh well, fortunately I have a WAR account. Guess I'll go play a game that's up AND running. So, um just curious but why were you trying to play WoW yesterday then? Love how War is doing so well that it's players are coming to the WoW forums to talk about a patch. LOL

Come and whine to us again when war is down from future patches they add to it.So far I have had 0 problems from the new patch,seems to be running very smoothy.

somebody need their fix? from the way you're jonesing here i think it's pretty obvious you'd rather be playing wow and NOT warhammer. from blizz's track record of...what is it now? i don't play anylonger, but it's like 5 years now....they have delivered a consistant and winning product.
there's no question the wow universe was ripped from warhammer. i believe they were even sued and pay rites to mythic. but blizz does it better, otherwise you'd never have made this post cus you'd already be playing warhammer and never even know the wow servers were down...
I guess the OP doesn't realize that there is a huge influx of people trying to squeeze in at the same time through the login server to get into their realm servers. I hate people that don't think outside of the box and have some common sense about the littlest of things. They did release the servers ontime for most and if you read they said servers will open at 2PM PDT, which means they open when 2PM starts and not at 1PM PDT even though some servers were up early than the schedule. Even with that, just be patient about it and it will stable, sigh.
Blizzard is having to patch hundreds of servers, there are millions of people downloading and installing the patch, and this patch includes a lot of changes to the game engine. It would be a miracle if nothing didn't go wrong.
Just be patient, and do something else today. They'll most likely have majority of the servers up and running fine by tomorrow.

I thought I would revisit this post and give you flamers an update. Two days after the patch my server has crashed no less than once an hour. These hourly crashes seem to only affect the major cities: if you are in an instance/ dungeon then your safe. On top of that there have been about 10 rolling restarts (i.e. servers come down for service). This is two days after the patch. So go ahead, flame me some more, make your personal attacks, etc... If this was your game you would be bitching too.

It took me ages to get on initially after the patch yesterday, but most of that was just down to overcrowding.
I have had some issues in the major cities, but then again i expected to have those problems and have kept away from SW and IF on the alliance side just because of this. If you have almost every character on the server trying to crowd into a single location then you can probably understand that it is going to cause some problems. I haven't had any issues in the outlands at all and most of the play areas outside major cities are fine.
I would expect the crowds to die down after a few days and people are getting back to their normal routines and with it the issues will die down too.
I can't say that i am ecstatic about the initial issues, but i may have a different perspective as a tester and being involved in patch deployments for software before, so i tend to imagine the worse and if it is better than that it is a bonus.
It isn't a perfect situation when you just want to get in there and do your thing, but just chill for a couple of days while it irons itself out and normal service is resumed and if you do want to have a moan at someone, petition for a couple of free days ;-)
It must be Thursday, i never could get the hang of Thursdays.
Stop crying. It's annoying. And what's even more annoying is that you know nothing about patch that was just applied to your game. New users and old users have re-upped accounts, my server now has a server queue but you don't see me complaining. Any time a patch of this size is applied, you as a player should understand what might happen and what might not happen. Instead of complaining like a child and throwing tantrums because your ignorant to the facts. Have you ever, and I mean ever, applied a service pack to windows and watch it crash your PC? from the looks of it, I guess you haven't.
Icecrown, the server I play on is plauged with disconnects, long before this patch. Blackhand, was plauged with disconnects but Blizzard eventually dealt with the issue. And last, this is my game, and since it's my game I take the time and learn about the game and it's issues. Instead of posting something stupid, try being constructive by making a post on the techicial support forums for assistant from blue.

What server are you on so we can verify this information. I have yet to see a server crash, restart or anything of that kind. Either you are unfortunately on the worst server or you're exaggerating.

Well there had been some server issues early in the morning....but that seem to clear up later in the day.

Well according to him his server has crashed no less than once an hour for 2 days. I find that hard to believe.

please just be quite.
you make WAR players look bad.

Blizzard should know better by now, but I think this is the largest ever patch to the game?
Still waiting for your Holy Grail MMORPG? Interesting...
