Hmm there is one in sid el bochrieh near abraj its called " wired " I went there 2 times . They got 30 pcs all with huge screens new headphones keybords mouses . The connection is good raided ds hc 25man there with a 70-90 ping
But the houre is charged 3000 L.L not 2000
I think that's the best internet cafe we have right now in lebanon since domnet closed.

Btw on what realms you people play ? Do you have or know a lebanese guild ?
I got 4 accounts . So i want to sell 3 of them. They are all upgraded to cataclysm and all are on EU servers.
1st account : 80 troll druid , 78 troll shaman , 44 tauren paladin (all 3 on EU-draenor)
80 night elf priest , 80 night elf warrior , 80 human paladin , 40 gnome mage ( all on EU-frostmane)
+ a bunch of low level characters (less than level 20) here and there.
price is 70$ (Cheaper than buying a new account which would cost you arround 85-90$)

2nd account : 80 night elf warrior (EU-kazzak)
71 Undead warrior , 46 troll hunter , 41 undead warlock , a bunch of characters between level 20 and 40 (EU-ahn'qiraj)
price is 50$

3rd account : 80 human paladin (EU-kazzak)
a bunch of low levels.
price is 45$
does anyone have the mists of panderia trial? i got an invitation but requires a 17GB of downloads :D
If launchers and torrents were not blocked here at my university i would have downloaded it because download speed go over 500KB/s (not 500k bits) . would take around 10 hours to download .
can't you use a proxy to overcome that?
thnx earthmaster i actually live in sed el bouchrieh :D was very helpful and i joined a lebanese guild b4 i play on vek'nilash server Eu
sry for typos : never joined lebanese guild b4. Jad can't u copy the trial from an internet cafe that has wow? Btw if i buy the expansion and use the disc should that stop from downloading the patch or not?
do you know any network cafe that has mists of panderia beta intalled :D?
Earthmaster informed of an internet cafe that has wow earlier called "wired" in sed el bouchrieh. try asking there :)
beta and the normal wow client is not the same
of course they are not the same but doesn't he download it like the other expansions? jad btw if you use the disc of a new expansion and install it you don't have to download the big expansion of the internet right?

anyone know if there's a retail store in lebanon that sells the entire novel series not just the wow ones but the old warcraft books as well?
Elie(>>)(-_-) wroteof course they are not the same but doesn't he download it like the other expansions? jad btw if you use the disc of a new expansion and install it u don't have to download the big expansion of the internet right?
I don't know if there's any network cafe that downloads the beta unless he plays it himself, because really few Lebanese play on Beta.

and as far as i know you wont need to download if you have the cds of the expansion but, usually before the expansion is released there is a pre-expansion patch, usually big and has major changes and content about the next expansion, like what happened in Cataclysm, Azeroth has changed and shattered including classes spells and talents before the Cataclysm was officially released so player could start to get used to the new game content, if you know what i mean.

Zheavy. all i know about the stories is that in every package you buy classic wow or expansion set there is a story in the game manual depends on the expansion or set you bought it's pretty good actually :D. plus im a fan of wow since warcraft 3 so i knew about the old stories from wowwiki in reading about the characters like the history of the lich king that he was once an orc etc... hope that might help :D.

i bought digital copies of the game, except for cataclysm, and there's like 3 pages of lore in there about it. i'm actually asking about the novel series since the warcraft age till the upcoming releases in the future, sorry for late answer, i just found someone answering this, and i'm still looking for more answers please.

so after the disappointing time i have been having with D3, I was wondering if its worth to renew subscription of my WOW cata account??

would highly appreciate any active players feedback.

You should renew it in like 1 month from now since MOP release date is set to 25/9/2012 so you play 1 month before release to get back in game and get used to changes and then you try MOP after a month.

Hello, i have a question about WoW payment methods. So far i have been using PC and Parts to get game cards, but i'm currently planning to do a realm transfer and for that i should have a credit card to pay online. I never use online payments, i have once went to "credit libanais" bank and bought what they called an internet card because they said our normal credit cards do not work online here in lebanon. Apologies if i am wrong, i don't know about this stuff. When i have bought this card in the past, i had some trouble purchasing online because the money got stuck and was never received by the receiving company which led to my account being banned, but that was a totally different game, and not a blizzard game, i had contacted visa and the company and my bank, and the only solution was to wait 2 months for the money to come back to my card and to un-ban my account, i had to transfer the money through a bank transfer, so basically it is was all a complicated and frustrating procedure.

At the moment, i want to do a realm transfer and pre-purchase the game from blizzard, and maybe as well get some game time, but the payment to europe servers is in Euros which is not at stable rates with the dollar currency, i did the math and i can buy a realm transfer, mists of pandaria, 6month subscription for: 34.99+20+65.94 euros, which at current rates will cost 149$, and credit libanais offers internet cards of 150$, but problem is i cannot guarantee the stability of the rates by the time that i get an internet card. And even if i do get an internet card, how can i be sure i will not face the same problem with blizzard and my wow account being banned such as i have before with my previous experience.

Sorry for long post, i am a bit frustrated and do not know what to do here, i am in dire need of doing a realm transfer and a pre-order of the game, and cannot put too much money and time into this process, i am aiming for some hardcore raiding in the new expansion, so i want everything to be ready way before then. What should i do lebgeeks community?
Hello,

Allow me to suggest what I think is your best option:

http://blomretail.com/Retail/BLOM-Visa-Mini-Card

You should get the card above. This is a prepaid debit card from BLOM bank. This card is issued to anyone, and you basically go in to a branch, deposit any amount from $25 to $500 and you can use this money as you please including online. This will work with blizzard and any other online service that accepts Visa. Therefore, you will be able to put the exact amount you need instantly into the account and use it on the spot in order to check the exchange rate fluctuations of the day.

Hope I helped
