Early access code viable later?

[old.Tohtori]

Just curious as i don't have cash on my bank account before 16th(which shouldn't be a problem d/l wise), that if i register now, can i enter the early access codes etc later?

As in, start the d/l before?

You will have to get the downloader from http://funcom.cachefly.net/AoC-EU-EarlyAccess.exe and then you can just start the download. It wont require any authentication. However the bloody downloader didnt start downloading _at all_ before Funcom finished working on my early access payment. Maybe just strange coincidence, I dont know...

The only thing I could remotely understand, is if they put your ISPs IP-range into some kind of list of allowed leechers after you succesfully registered at their site. Very dodgy, but the best I could come up with given the very strange coincidence. 0 KB/sec for over 3 hours, then the e-mail came telling me they got my payment and in a matter of minutes my download started at 125 KB/sec and rising...

//edit: Fatfingerish for teh win!

Thanks a bunchers. Started now and it's at 1%

Ok i lie...started a minute ago.

EDIT: Someone tell me that after this downloads, there' gonna be a bigger download 'cause i'm a bit about being at 10% already.

The link only gets you the downloader. Its like 500KB big. You start the downloader and then it will ask for a directory in which it will save the (13 GB) install files.

Aye, the first download(the files or some such after the installer was online) came now, takes a bit longer to get the 13gb.

So you load the loader to load the loader :

any1 know what time the servers open on saturday? im going back to uni house on friday and will need to dl the game, on a 20meg connection so hopefully wont take too long =)

 

[Fafnir]

5pm GMT, so i guess 7pm CET due to summertime.

 

[Tilda]

So is that 5 or 7 in the UK?

 

[old.Tohtori]

UK is GMT. Greenwich Mean Time.

You silly english people

On a 20mb line it should take, if you get good speeds, around 10 hours still.

CET is for us Normal Europeans. And accroding to what i can find now since CET is on summer time CET is GMT +2

UK is GMT. Greenwich Mean Time.

Bah get a 100 mb line.

Opening the game at 7 pm CET will really put some pain on the poor hamsters running the servers. Back in technical beta, there was a stress test on the servers as well and the character generation was FUBAR. Changes you made to your ragdoll took nearly a minute to get rendered and you lost connection when it took you too long to create a toon. This is gonna be interesting... ^^

I didn't say i have 20mb, he did

We don't even do our pizza ordering on a 20mb in these parts.

I'll have a big hangover, 6pack(atleast) of long drinks in the fridge, a scotch bottle on the table, half a fridge filled with munchies and a fresh pack of toilet rolls.

I think i'm ready

Huh - no - we have this concept of British Summer Time which is GMT+1 so for the UK it starts at 6PM...
