Just for all info, if you have patch 4.0.3a installed,DO NOT install the files from the DVD,it will revert you back to patch 4.0 and you need to re-download the patch again up to current version(around 6GB).

So just upgrade your account to Cata in the battle.net account and run the launcher.I found it the hard way when i installed the files from the DVD.

Hope this helps.Enjoy your leveling!

tl:dr

just upgrade your account to Cata in the battle.net

if you realise the above problem, hop(hope) to you back up file.

you can't gain exp at level 80,( its a bug, blue still trying to fix it)(3 hours ago)

We're aware level 80 characters aren't gaining experience and it's being investigated.

Nethaera:
We recently made a change to the way experience is calculated and wanted to take some time to explain this change in order to clear up some confusion some may be having in regard to their rate of progress. If you are currently at the maximum level that you can be for an expansion (or higher), killing creatures from that expansion will now grant 10% of normal experience.


Examples:
•Level 60 or higher players get 10% normal experience for killing creatures in Azeroth (“Old world” content)
•Level 70 or higher players get 10% of normal experience for killing Burning Crusade creatures.
•Level 80 or higher players get 10% of normal experience for killing Lich King creatures.
•Level 85 or higher players get 10% of normal experience for killing Cataclysm creatures.

What does this mean for those that have Cataclysm and are leveling up new characters? This means that you will gain normal experience through to level 60 and will then need to move on to The Burning Crusade zones until you reach level 70 and Wrath of the Lich King zones until you reach level 80. Once you reach 80, it is expected that you will be continuing your leveling adventures in the new Cataclysm zones and dungeons. We have made this change so that players will continue to progress through the appropriate content for their level versus grinding on quick re spawns in a less ideal location.

This change will also affect hunter pets and their leveling rate if the player is at max level, however, this is an unintended change that we will be addressing in the future.



in cata instance, feel free use your crowd control ablilty.

don't distrup your's and other player's crowd control ablilty.

don't gain agrro over tank, if you die, its your fault.

give healer time to drink.

I know it is the same with TBC. I came back 6 months after TBC and not sure whether I would come back I installed WoW and download everything until it is current. When I decided I am here to stay I bought TBC, punch in the CD key and I could play instantly. Initially I am not sure, I just login to check only but when I can pass through the dark portal I know I don't have to install. I think you only install from CDs when you haven't been playing for a while.
