really? that sounds like a lot.. did you get the 6GB patch when it came out a couple of weeks ago or so?
mine's only 450mb..
Actually, I just wandered back after a prolonged absence.
My Blizzard Downloader yesterday said 16gb downloaded with 21gb being the full thing... i'm not sure why it's that fucking big. I'm not downloading the full game here, it's a patch!
Welcome back.

No problem! :3
It's all good, you'll have to wait another like... 6+ hours for the server to be up ;P!
My desktop is at 6% after an hour and 30 minutes but I have a 7 year old POS. Will do the superior notebook later.

Are the experience requirements from 82-85 being lowered with the patch or is that not until MOP release?
Supposedly it's with the patch, along with the 20-40 XP lowering.
No choosing a spec that unlocked special abilities, they were just there in the tree and you weren't restricted to being required to spend a certain amount of points before being able to diversify. (stuff like prep/ar or prot/holy healer were a result of this)
The same as Cataclysm, except with even more talents choices. Also, you weren't forced to choose the last talent at the bottom before going into the other trees.
It was.....weird. You basically didn't get any real spec-defining abilities until around level 40 or 50. All these important spells you get from your specialization like Avenger's Shield, Shield Slam or Penance were deep in the talent tree. It was very easy to screw up for newer folks and had no real choice if you were in PvE.
It wasn't condensed like it is now. You weren't locked into a tree for the first 31 talent points, so you could put them wherever they were available (you still had to put 5 points in the first tier to move down).
The problem was a lot of abilities like Penance, or Dispersion - basically class defining abilities were tucked all the way down at the bottom of the tree meaning you didn't get it until a few levels before the level cap. This meant you didn't really get a good grasp on how you're supposed to use it.
Ret Paladins were fucking terrible to lvl before Cataclysm, all you had was auto attacks and Judgment for nearly 50 lvls before Crusader Strike was available.
Having leveled one in TBC, all I can say is that at least it wasn't as bad as Priests.
I mean, wanding was the most optimal way to kill stuff for a long, long time. :/

holy shit
I leveled with CS and at low levels it sometimes felt like I didn't have shit to do
Wand Spec was mandatory for leveling
Eh, you're lucky to have missed it.
To think some people want Blizzard to add classic or TBC servers. I think their brain decided to erase the bad memories.
And there wasn't any click to confirm shit, you clicked the wrong talent... well go respec
