Pre-orders for the Cataclysm digital upgrade are officially open, and you can start downloading the remainder of the expansion's data the moment your purchase goes through. But what if you're awaiting a Collector's Edition or you don't have the money to upgrade online right now? You don't want to be left waiting for Cataclysm to download and install on launch night.
Thankfully, we've got you covered. There's an easy way to preload all the data you'll need to play Cataclysm the moment it goes live on midnight Dec. 7. Just follow these easy steps:
1. Make sure World of Warcraft and/or the launcher and background downloader are completely closed.
2. Open up your World of Warcraft folder.
3. Open Launcher.wtf in Notepad and change the "accountType" line from LK to CT.
4. Open Config.wtf in Notepad and change the "accountType" line from LK to CT.
Now load up the launcher and you should begin downloading 700 megs or so of new material. That's the last bit of data you need to play on launch night. Enjoy!
Certainly must try it out...I keep worrying about not being able to start downloading the Cataclysm since I wanna get the box....I wonder if still can get the collector's edition...Thanks to Vixyn.... =) and oh ya not to forget IRONY!!!
Dawyn tried it and it works perfectly...hee....now's my turn...and I found that both Launcher.wtf and Config.wtf is actually found in [drive installed]:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\WTF
