Problems playing WoW
I just downloaded the WoW trial, and when i logged in, instead of coming up with a character list it said "Patch Required: Press restart button below to exit World of Warcraft and download the patch." so i pressed the restart button, downloaded the patch, and when i logged back on it did the same thing, it keeps sending me in circles, how do i fix this?

Probably because you'll have a million patches to go through before it's done patching.
I haven't downloaded the trial in about forever but my guess is that the trial download is an outdated version and needs several patches to get caught up to the most recent play version (every time you do the patch you should notice that the version number increases). It will keep doing what you described until it has patched to the most recent version and you can play like normal. I _think_ the most recent WoW version is 3.1.3 but thats a guess as I haven't played it in a few months.
It's annoying but thats how the WoW update system works. Some MMOs will fully patch from the launcher before it even lets you play and some require multiple patches like WoW. Stick to it and you'll get in.
i found wow to be boring and to "simple" i would say.. very easy game no challenge or skil required... still lineage 2 is best game i can find!

As others have said you need to download multiple patches.
