WoW in India

Like I said, it was very surprising to see so many people from India play WoW - especially from Chennai and Bangalore. I met a few friends online and took part in a PVP as well. There are also people from places like Delhi, Gujarat, many from Mumbai and also other parts of the country. Most of these guys play from private cafes and share accounts, few play from the comfort of their own homes. There are many WoW-India communities on popular community portals as well. If you are a member of Orkut, and play or like WoW, then you should join the community there as well if you wish. I hope that some big-wig takes notice and decides to bring this beautiful game to India and let the others experience it as well.


After a few weeks, I will be covering Raids and PVPs in the World of Warcraft, I'm sure all the fans would like that.

I would not term this game has "Bit Addictive". Rather I would say it is "Very Very Very Addictive". So please be forewarned. I would not advise students in school or college to play this game as this game will eat away all your free time and might even affect your grades if you ignore your studies.

There have been many questions about how to play the game or where to get it from. Well to start off download the 10-day free trial from the website www.worldofwarcraft.com. thereafter you'll need to download all the patches, that does take some time as over the last 3 years(almost) about 2GB of updates exist. If you feel like buying the game, ebay.in or www.playasia.com is the best place to get it. I recommend buying the expansion also, though it costs more than the actual game, but your wow experience will be very limited without Burning Crusade, as one whole World(OUTLAND) and 2 races are unavailable to you. My character is a lvl 67 Hunter on the Shu'Halo realm.

Well written - I sure would like to thank Vilsor from Hyderabad for the additional info on the system and the bandwidth. Even though we supply software to the world, our leaders just don't care about the infrastructure - getting a telephone connection from MTNL is a pain in neck, let alone a broadband connection, even in cities like Mumbai. Besides, Rs.620 isn't all that cheap for US Servers - I wish someone could post Indian game servers, making it easily affordable. Kudos to all. Cheerios, D. R. Chopra

Unfortunately there are no servers currently hosted in India. Another MMORPG game that is out there is "Guild Wars". You can play this game for free once you buy it. It is an ok game but does not compare with World of Warcraft.

You can buy WoW in most game stores in India or at Ebay India. On Ebay India it is selling for Rs.1200/-. While buying the game you will have to choose US or UK version. I play on the US servers because that is the version of the game I have. You will need a monthly subscription to play the game. The subscription is $15 every month. It turns out to be aroud Rs.620 currently. You can use a credit card for Wow Subscriptions. I would recommend a system with a decent graphics card and adequate memory. I can play on my laptop which has 512MB RAM, but I lag when I enter big cities or crowded areas. I would recommend atleast 1GB RAM to play this game. You will also need a decent graphics card. I suggest atleast Nvidia GeForce 7600GT 256MB. In the game you have a feature which shows your response time from server and also fps. With my 512Kbps DSL connection, my response time is in yellow (average) or red(bad). But even with this connection, I can play smoothly unless my internet connection becomes very bad. As long as your response time is less than 1000ms you can play smoothly. If it is above 1200ms you notice a little log. My connection is usually 600 to 900ms.

so i played the trial on a 128kbit line and it was quite smooth..i wasnt able to take part in any raids so i dont know how a 128kbit would fair in 10+man group....so there u have it if u plan to solo or play in small groups a 128kbit line should be sufficient. I'm sure a 40 man raid group would equire atleast a 256kbit line :) .

Hi Navneet, Nice article about World Of Warcraft. This is such a wonderful game but it is sad that many people are unaware of it in India. I have a level 60 Warlock and my brother-in-law has a level 60 Hunter. We share the account. I was wondering where we can meet other WoW players from India.
