World of Warcraft Client Software Download
If you have lost or damaged your World of Warcraft or Burning Crusade CD's, we offer the client software for download for our users with active accounts! However, since the client software is a rather large download, we highly recommend you use our Blizzard Downloader to facilitate the download of the client software. Our Blizzard Downloader will keep track of how much of the client you have downloaded that way if you ever get disconnected or need to continue the download at a different time you may do so from where you left off. It is very similar to leaving a bookmark on the last page you finished reading.
The Blizzard Downloader allows users to download large files without being limited by a host's bandwidth by using a peer-to-peer protocol. Your computer may need to be configured in certain way to optimize the speed and functionality of the Downloader. Information on this is below.
For the original World of Warcraft game and Burning Crusade expansion, the client software can be downloaded from the following link:
https://www.worldofwarcraft.com/account/download_wow.html
You will need to login to your account using your user name and password, and then please select the appropriate download for your account.
For common issues and troubleshooting steps associated with the Blizzard Downloader, please go to our
Blizzard Downloader Troubleshooting page.
* For additional information on the new Blizzard Downloader, we recommend that you consult our
Blizzard Downloader FAQ page.
In addition, we also have links to external websites that are hosting the patch as a stand alone file. Please remember, that if you choose this method, then you will most likely run into the same issues the next time we patch the game. The mirror sites can be accessed
here.
Finally, if you are experiencing difficulty with the Blizzard Downloader or would like to use an alternative method of downloading the client software we offer it from the following sites: (Please note that these locations are only for the original game, they do not host a Burning Crusade download)

Once you have downloaded the client you may need to extract the software once it has downloaded if it is archived in a .ZIP format. Please extract all the contents to your desktop and then double click the installer.
