can you download world of warcraft directly from the site and pay the monthly fee or do you have to buy the discs & pay monthy fees

Yes, you most definitely can register online and download the software directly to your computer. The disks are not a necessity, but usually advisable in case of any future need to reinstall everything. Just make sure that when you download the software, you make a record of the authentication keys and keep them in a safe place.

Be aware, however, that even if you download from the site, you will still have to pay for both the software AND the monthly fee. That is the way of Warcraft. Unfortunately, there is not much you can do to reduce the cost in that regard, although if you check places that sell the game, Amazon.com does, look for "Warcraft Battle Chest". It has both the original game and the first expansion pack ‘Burning Crusade’ and it is often a lot cheaper than buying the disks separately. You would still have to purchase WotLK to complete the set and get up to level 80 with any characters that you set up.

Both can be found very reasonably priced at the links below.
