So how is World of Warcraft gonna work?

[Last Exile]

1. When is it coming out?
2. DO you download it and pay for regular use, or will you be able to buy it in stores?

As for characters and abilities and all, I saw them on the site.

Any one got any answers?

1. Winter 2004
2. Like pretty much every game you will buy it in stores.

2. Since it's a MMORPG, security is tighter so some have the client available for download. I'm not sure if Blizzard will officially do this, but you'll probably be able to download it via torrent. You will, however, have to dish out cash for a CD-Key. Only thing I'm sure out is that there will be a collector's edition with DVD and CD versions of the game, a 200-page artbook, cloth maps, exclsuive pet, and 10-day pass for a friend.

Since it's essentially EWarQuest, it'll have to include an IV feed, too. Maybe some sort of special cat-feeding thing, too.
