WoW and Lan?

Want to set up a lan party to play WoW- everyone has their own copy of WoW; however, I was wondering can more than one person log onto the WoW server(s) through the same router? or does everybody need their own IP address and so this isn't possible.

Well so much for the Lan party- I went out to buy my own copy of WoW and found that, at least in central Ohio, there isn't a copy to be found- sold out everywhere. Checked the internet- only copies available are going for $70. Newegg is sold out also.

I don't remember ever hearing a game that wouldn't work from one IP behind a router. Of course, I've never tried it either, lol.

And ppl have been up in arms (not literally) b/c of WoW shortages. It's well known that the game is in short supply.

Yeah, the first load of copies sold out immediately. Blizzard not releasing new copies until they have provided more bandwith as the servers are already very crowded as it is. More copies would make the game unplayable, so they have to get more servers first

That's good information- if the servers are that crowded might not be that much fun- or is it.

I remember in years past having difficulty with DiabloII using one IP- but I can't remember the specifics of it.

Alot of games used to have this issue. The were work arounds with DX port range splits.

Finally found a copy- but now I'm getting the infamous #132 error. Blizzard doesn't seem to have a fix for this- I un-oc'd everything maybe that will fix it- anyone know of cure?
