just out of wondering ...
since im a pc noob :p

how long will it take me to download the NF patch on a 56k modem :D ??

im assuming ill be seeing u all in about a month when it finally downloads

and while im on the subject, what happens if u dont have NF installed , does this mean u CANNOT leave sauvage/snowdonia at all ?

that'd be fucked up and unfair for people who need to do Epics/Quests and dont have/want <though why u wouldnt want NF is beyond me > .

kthxbye :D

15-16 hours at max rate for the NF install file, if you mean that 270mb one :D , patch itself is like other 5-7mb tho :p


/edit:
You can't enter frontier zones without it

ok, little maths for ya :p

270 x 1024 = 276480 kb / 5.6k = 49371.428571428571428571428571429 / 60 = 822.85714285714285714285714285714 / 60 = 13.714285714285714285714285714286

so basically its, MB x MB in Kilobytes = total kilobytes / 5.6 (thats how much a sec u get) = total amount of time in seconds to download that many kb's, divide again by 60 to get minutes, divide bt 60 again to get hours.

and u get 13 hours, maybe closer to 14 :) simple, that or get it of a magazine like sum1 else said :)

nope, its optional content like housing, you dont hav to DL it or go into the frontiers, without the patch the gate in sauvage will be inert.
