Download size question

Post by Xero » Sat Apr 22, 2023 4:12 am

Hello, I'm interested in returning to Turtle WoW, and have some hopefully pretty basic questions before I get back in.

I last played in 2020-21 (before and after the High Elf and Goblin update), so I'm guessing that my current installed version of the game is 1.12.1 or whatever it was at that point...

1. So the current version 1.16.5 is an entirely new client? What's the size of that download, please? I don't have unlimited access so will be a little strategic depending on how chunky the file size is...

2. (Out of interest, what was the size of the download when the High Elves and Goblins came in?)

3. And from reading this thread, it sounds like I need to copy my WTF and Addons folders before the new client download, because the new client will overwrite everything in the game folder?

Cheers!

I believe it's about 15 Gigabytes, not a lot to worry about.
Elmhoof - 60 Feral, between tanking/dps (Main)
Anbone 34 Shadow Priest (Planned secondary main)
Manypunchman - 10 Naked Troll Boxer (Hardcore)

I'm back! More or less...

Best bet is to download a fresh 1.16.5 client.

This will ensure no crashes etc
