WoW at school?:)

[arne1612]

Hej guys, was woundering, is it possible to play World of Warcraft on school, if I make a FTP server at home? Thing is, at school I work with a mac, at home windows XP..

Would be pretty awesome, farming in school for the win.

Also, graphic cards shouldn't be a problem, since the mac's on my school are for designing art/websites, or editing movies.



Anyone has experience with doing this?

Why would you want to waste valuable hours playing a game in school? Study instead!

A couple friends of mine asked the school if they could hook their laptops up to the school network so they can do their important work straight onto their laptops instead of sending it all the time from home to school and they did, now they can use their internet whilst at school, and can play games ez. Sadly, I don't have a laptop. :<

Yes, we all know how important it is to participate and listen to every single class in school / high school.. because it is that hard...

Help the dude if you can, if you can't then at least don't provide mom advice #34.

Get your ipod or a USB pen with 9gb + memory on it. Get your whole warcraft folder from program files and copy/ paste onto your device. Plug it in school and go to your warcraft laucher thingy and thats it.

Job Done

ye sure, first it starts with "oh religion? /care, need to farm some primals". 2 months later its "oh english? /care, I'm on an english server" ...etc.

Even if I could, I wouldn't help him aslong as I don't know how good he is at school and what he does when he's not at school.

Why the **** would you even care how good he is in school or not? Answer the goddamn question he asked or move along.

If you leave your PC on you might be able to set it up so you connect to your pc from the school mac, using a program that is usually used for long distance PC maintenance.

The program itself should be fairly small, so you could easily download it on the school mac (if it works on macs, that is), but you will have have quite some problems playing that way. Ping to send commands from mac to your pc, ping for your pc to send stuff to wow server, ping for wow server to send it to your pc, ping for your pc to send screen info back to mac.

Basically, you'd have double the normal MS. That + you'll most likely experience some mouse delays and the like, but it could work. The mac wouldn't even need a graphic card for it to work because the PC does all the rendering and then just sends it to the school mac, meaning the mac has no real rendering work, just displaying the stream from your pc.

I used to have a program for it, but I can't remember what it was called. Google remote desktop and you might find something useful.
