Wow data rates

booah · 2009-01-09 04:38:09

Just wondering would anyone know what kind of monthly data rates would one expect from playing warcraft - say 5 hours a day to be safe. For example, if I had a 5gb monthly cap would plying the game and nothing else use this up. thanks

No, Warcraft (or any other mmo) uses very little bandwidth. Cant remember exactly, but you'd only go through a few megs a day. No worry of going over 5gb a month.

I ran a bandwidth monitor on my PC once and during normal play time, WoW uses up slightly less bandwidth than gmail being left open in a browser.

If you're in a 25-man raid, this may be different
