How much of a download will i need to start?

[oblivion_6]

Hi guys

Im really interested in playing DOAC instead of my current MMORPG and I was wondering what is the size of the downloads to update the version I buy out the shops?

Is it massive in size?

Also how big a concern is lag on the UK servers as the other game I was in was ruined for me with lag

Cheers

Think the total size of the patches are around 27 MB. As for the lag, it's normally fine, been spiking alot lately though.

serious??

wow 27MB for all the patches

I take it the cd out the store is V1.0 and now its on what 1.5?

Retail is actually version 1.36; we're currently running 1.49.

I went out at lunch there to buy it and the shop said it was limited stock in the UK and they didnt have it so ill need to look elsewhere

Cheers for your help mate

Under an hour

Its not too bad - took me 40 mins to patch using half my ISDN line (was using other half of the line on my other PC to surf ).

That was a few weeks ago though. With the latest patch (which is fairly hefty cos of Darkness Falls dungeon) I'd expect full download to be about an hour for me.

Dunno what it would be like with dial-up though

i play it on 56k at the moment
only been using my lvl 30 infil since i lost my 512k cable so dont know about large PvP, though it will prob b atrocious, fine to play PvE and wasnt 2 bad in small PvP (battlegrounds)
much better than any other mmorpg i have played on this conn

cool

wherabouts are u ?

im in scotland and once i get full time im moving on to AOL broadband definetly

Connections are weird - my 128k ISDN at home here in the Channel Islands is usually slower downloading stuff than on a 56k modem when I'm at college in Yorkshire. I guess its that damn cable across the channel

Of course we don't have the option of broadband here /sigh
