To play Warcraft III without a CD all you need to do is connect to battle.net and download the latest patch file. After that’s finished you will no longer need the CD to play!

Running Starcraft without the CD, unfortunately, is a bit more challenging. If you read the patch notes for patch 1152 then it explains how to do it, but since you didn’t I’ll explain it here…

If you have the Brood War expansion pack….

1. Insert your Brood War CD into your computer.
2. Navigate to the files on the CD and copy the file called “install.exe” to the starcraft program folder (this should be “C:\Program Files\Starcraft”)
3. Rename the file you just copied to be called “BroodWar.mpq” — note that you need to change the file extension from .exe to .mpq.
4. Remove the CD and play Starcraft without it!

If you do not have Brood War installed, simply follow the instructions above but when you copy “install.exe” from the CD you should rename it to “Starcraft.mpq”

1. Download the game.
2. Create your account.

To create a trial account you will need a special game trial key. You can get these from anyone that already has the game, but here are four of my own (each can only be used once, they are all fresh as of November 3 2007).

78ZDR8-2VMW-YCR28T-ZDRM-JN6HNB

PS: If you’ve already bought the game but haven’t created your account yet, use one of these trial keys and THEN upgrade it to a full account — you’ll get an extra 10 days of free game time!

“Today a scammer named “WoWfan4life” messed with the wrong person I am 25 , and have been a Private Investigator for the State of Florida and Texas for 3 years.

I came across him interested in my World of Warcraft account offering 120$. He seemed very sketchy , rushing me etc. and I thought this trade was going to be a problem but I really wanted to get rid of this account. I accepted his offer and waited for payment via paypal. Since I was being very impatient which was my big mistake I did not wait for the “Pending” funds to clear.. So I gave the account information and as I thought the 120$ was cancelled before clearing. Immediately after giving him the info !

I had prepared for this situation , so I decided to try and turn this whole scam around Screenshots below, funniest thing I’ve ever seen , linked it to a whole bunch of friends thought you all would gain something from this experience too
