umm your best bet is prolly to find a friend that has it. as far as i know you cannot download a demo. the game is like 4 cd's PLUS the current 300mb-ish patch so i don't think you'd wanna download it if you could. if you've got a friend with the game you can either play on their account or use the free trial account that should have been included with their purchase. plus that way when you sign up they get like a free month of gameplay. also it's best if you can play on a trial account b/c you keep your characters when it expires and you switch to a regular account. if you're playing on your friend's account there's no way to transfer charcters to another account.

if you're a Runescape fan you'll love WoW. better graphics, better gameplay and the playerbase is somewhat less retarded since it's people actually paying to play. WoW's pretty much the top MMORPG right now.

oh if you ever plan on selling keep in mind you hafta sell the entire account (all your characters). but it's not unheard of for a lvl 60 character to go for $500-600ish on ebay.
