Do not UNINSTALL WoW when open beta ends!

the open beta client right now is the retail version of it, so you dont need to reinstall the game when it comes out.

you need a cd key in order to play retail. you need the cd key to make an account, then you log on and it auto-updates with a new patch.

you dont get it. when you installed WoW you never entered any cd key. you get the cd key with the box and go create an account on www.worldofwarcraft.com then you use that account and log in. once you log in you will download a patch and viola.

I think I'd rather do a fresh install just in case there was something special that was not part of the beta program, and that the patch didn't also include.

Just in case.

I know the install took a while, but it may be worth it in the end.
