Test patch is up

I finished to upload on this website the patch to play on the test server of World of Warcraft. You can find it here (also linked on the sidebar).

Now the problem is that I wanted to keep all the patches to go right from the CD version to the last version but Blizzard never released standalone patches to go from 1.2.1 to 1.2.4. Once the patch will be released live the “jump” would be impossible since when connecting with a 1.2.1 client the downloader will probably try to get a new cumulative patch.

This just to underline two points:
– I’m not sure if it’s worth to preemptively downloading this test patch considering that Blizzard may make it not compatible and release a brand new one once the patch is actually released on all the servers
– Blizzard’s downloader worked flawlessly this time, so no need for mirrors (but then there weren’t half a million of clients connecting to it)

Let me know if you have problem with the file. If you downloaded it before reading these lines you probably got it while I was uploading. So it won’t work. From now on it should be ok.
