Thinking of buying this today

I am going to buy the store copy however as my IP is getting near my monthly download limit. My question  is are there actually DVDs inside or just a product key and info on how to DL it off there servers. which some developers have been doing lately. Which still leaves me with the same problem.

    I feel bad no one has replied so giving it the old college try : usually the physical copy will not have any of the updates after those copies were made. So you will still have to download some data. The quantity will depend on how much was added after that DVD was made.

    • Product Dimensions: 8 x 5 x 1 inches ; 3.2 ounces

    As the above posted stated, once you get the CD you will need to patch. It does save some time to have the CD, though I have very fast internet so I always prefer the digital copy and mine downloaded very very fast.

    You will find dvd's inside the box. But you still need to download around.. 5 or 6 GB of data.

    Stages of a new mmo: 1) It's just beta. It still has plenty of time before release. 2) It just launched. Give it time. WoW wasn't built in a day. 3) We don't need you anyway. 4) F2P announced. 5)Huge influx of players. 6) Look how much has changed. 7) Cash shop is the only thing developed lately. 8) It has been a long journey and we thank everyone who was part of it. Shutting down in 3 months. (Courtesy of Robokapp.)

    I had 4 DVD's in the box, cant remember how much I had to DL after install in patches but it went quite fast (14m connection). I feel sorry for people with monthly limits for how much they can use the internet, can someone remind me again why some countries have these limits?

    I bought the physical copy (4 DVDs). You have to download 18GB of updates after installing.

    Thanks all..Actually I live in the US and my IP is AT&T. Its not exactly a limit but infact they give you 150GB free ..and every additional 50GB cost $10...on DSL. It takes a lot of data to make 150GB but I have managed to get to about 140GB this month. I did infact buy the Retail boxed version. It looks like about a  6-7 GB download in addition. It did include a nice cloth map though..This game is gigantic 35 GB so far.
