US gamer living in UK needs help

Hey everyone, I wasn't sure on how I should name the thread. The problem I'm having is I want to play World of Warcraft on the European servers but the DVD is in PAL format. I know that I can change the realm settings on my DVD drive but I'd rather not since this would be the only time I'd use a PAL DVD. I plan on building a new computer sometime in the summer and I wanted to know what options I have and if it's possible to have both a Realm 1/NTSC DVD drive and Realm 2/PAL DVD drive, thanks for the help!

A current player would be more accurate but why not just download the game from one of the legitimate sites that sell it and skip the hassle altogether (Be sure to burn it to disk when you do that.) ?

I would do that but that link is to the game client that links with the US servers, not the European ones. Would an external drive work?

I don't mean to sound rude but that's not what I meant. The first link you posted is for the version of WoW that connects only to the American servers for the game, what I'd be looking for is the version that connects to the European servers. What are my options concerning the CD drives?

You had better click on that link in the 4th post, the one that reads europe.com
It's priced in euros/pounds and is for europe only.
