Uninstalled and reinstalled the game but the problem is persist.:P. And the technical support page don't say from my problem its just general stuffs from the firewall and etc... .

I cant create premade characters it comes up constantlæy with an error message even it says i can make 3. very annoying.
also ingame how can we provide feedback with the flaws we experience as the Gm button doesnt work ( Mists of panderia ) i got stuck in Dm yesterday on a cannon & today all monsters in Dm kills the entire group instantly with fire dmg.

& your talent system sux so badly im pelased that Diablo 3 arrives soon & further ahead Guild wars 2, then i delete all my chars & uninstall wow for good, you are very disappointing blizzard so very disappointing, the new talent system is made so even 5 years old & mentally !@#$% can understand it, Now tell me WHATS FUN ABOUT A SYSTEM every1 can use with no tactics whatsoever ?? how very sad.

Furthermore by now you should have learned to make the trees & grass more floathing make them move in the wind, but you dont its exactly the same old c... as when you first made the game, also the beasts / monsters should be territorial not hold each others hand attacking the individuals from both sides, & last 1 thing i really really hate, is the eternal fullmoon at night & the ternal Sun at day : weather changes & sudden storms would be a very good idea, Youve growen too fat & old blizz & has forgotten to make good games, sadly , i know theres probably millions of players that disagrees with me which i believe is your luck, as , when more & more think likes me the masses will skip the game entirely & completely move toward another game that actually looks amusing & is amusing & which doesnt get changed every time some creator thinks that his idea is the best intended for gameplay ://

The only positive i can say about the new game is that the Graphic is amazing.

im not getting as far as error logging in. I have downloaded the beta game installer named "world of warcraft beta setup". When i start the install i get a window pop up saying "checking for updates". then another window pops up for a mili second saying simething like initializing blizzard ... by which time its gone. At this point the wow mists of pandaria game install pops up and after around 20 seconds another windows pops up saying "an unexpected error has occurred while trying to install. please try again or contact customer support" i have tried 9659267963 times to install looked at customer support 3587658 times but no game....
