Localized versions of the game also download translation stuff like texts and speech apart from the base packages that are in english.
Even if you play only in english, when you buy the game in a country with localized version, it'll come flagged as being of that country. In Boub's case, it'll be "frFR" and will download both frFR and enGB files. There are ways to skip those, but that's the standard case.

Does anyone have the irking problem of reading any mmo post made by Boub in Garfields voice?

Did anyone on the PTR check out the pvp/arena item prices and rating requirements? Been wondering if they up the prices on those as well... (I'd check it out myself, if I didn't have a download limit on my internet grrrrrr).

Feck me that's one big patch... and I'm nearing me monthly limit already - and it's just the FIRST part ! >_<

How will I be able to buy the Wintergrasp Commendations for my alts now?

I wanted to get my Worgen Warrior some of the legacy weapons ...

Well, the first part of 4.0.1 probably includes the old world, which is pretty much completed and fixed, tested to death and its ok for relase... also probably all the new UI/skins/music!

The part 2 will probably relased with all the equipment sets/skins/textures etc

4.0.1 system changes. 4.0.3 content changes.

so 4.0.1 next week yeah?

My issue is that the background downloader no longer seems to want to start up.

Fix for "HELP! Background downloader no longer seems to want to start up"

+ open your WoW folder
+ delete BackgroundDownloader.exe
+ run "repair.exe" choosing the CHECK ONLY option
+ wait
+ re-launch BackgroundDownloader.exe, it will work again

Too bad that repair doesn't fully download backgrounddownloader.exe for me. Just stops halfway and that's it.

omg is it 10 hours to download this patch for real? after 45 min im at 3% only.i hope i dont have an error message at half way lol its taking forever.

Tkanks a lot, it works

That doesn't sound right... I'm at 90% after about 3 hours of downloading.

The 4k cap is for Justice Points, which is the new PvE currency that is modelled on the old honor points for PvP. it will work similar but it is different. And it is for PvE, not for PvP.

Ehh... Did you read a different post than everyone else?

* Stone Keeper Shard * 1.6
* Venture Coin * 3
* Spirit Shard * 1
....

Honor points above 4,000 are converted to gold at a rate of 35 silver per point of Honor.

That's what the blue post I read said. Which makes your parent post completely correct.

Edit to add:

And you apparently played a different TBC than I did. I know plenty of people that never set foot in a TBC raid, but went into Wrath with almost full Epics from Heroic instances, Rep, badges, and PvP. PvP was especially popular, since it was relatively easy to get, and TBC PvP gear didn't budget nearly as much for resilience. It was actually decent for PvE.

You can probably buy the stuff with the new honor point system. I don't think that all of those items will get taken away instantly.

Common sense suggests that you should play now and download it later.
