Only at create though. Never after you played it! :) (Though, I don't really see people shrink and grow IRL either.. Whereas with plastic surgery anything is possible with your face!)

If people are young enough they tend to grow, and some old people....

Bah

THe path is there alright...

Its a shame its Downloading at 2.5 kbs though... :/


I mean, you would THINK that a company running an online game would have sufficent capacity on the patch servers to accomodate the expected amount of people downloading...

its a joke.

good plan they should spend a fortune on improving the patch servers that are under high load all of one to two days every few months....

do the maths - approx 1000 people downloading a patch total...probably 500+ of them at any one time, plus any other load on ther servers, plus those with two pc's etc etc.Talkign a lotta money...just put up with it like the rest of us...

It's not so much a capacity problem as a planning problem, if the patch servers were done first and online for 5 hours before the servers come up there would be alot less congestion when 4pm comes around as a good few thousand players would have already been patched before the rush starts, that would reduce the congestion at primetime greatly. Buying new patch servers makes no sense as they already have plenty ofcpu power and bandwidth but when 10,000+ people all try patch at once there isn't a normal server that or network setup that will cope well with that many people trying to download 44mb at once.

Dunno where you bought your char mate, but in that "create character" screen you obviously have never used you can select your character's height, YE GODS!

I want to make my chars smaller than they are.

My inconnu is too tall :(

Would have been nice to have the patch server open at like 3am on the morning of the patch. That way, I can go to sleep and leave it downloading, thus making other people able to download faster etcetc

They did, I had my patches downloaded about 5ish hours before the servers got back up.

Yeah, I heard, one of my friends who lives not far away from me couldn't connect either. Guess I got lucky. :)
