Since positive feedbak to GOA is a rarity on these boards, I'll start giving em credit for a very nice online-distribution of DarknessRising (so far).

Online payment - worked excelent, didnt notice any lag or preasure on the system.
Online activation - worked excelent, activated insta and my accounts page syncronized.
Download of patches and the DR client - very very nice! Downloaded at max speed, everything seems to be working superb.

PS: Lets hope rest of the day is as flawless as its been so far :) Good luck to the guys at the GOA officees. Cant wait to get home and try DR out some :)

Well done!

they are always working hard when its about their money income.. of course the order site is great, fast and looking nice.. but who cares about players probs like lost items, los bugs, ridiculous pathings, etc.. this doesnt change anything about their reputation in my eyes.

Got mine direct from GOA had nothing to do with dlgamer and have all my cd keys and everything up and running just waiting for servers to come back online.

Well done GOA and many thanks from the UK players that up untill this patch have been shafted with release dates.

All I need now is my fiance's fire wiz (jadore) fixed as she is still stripped and ill even buy the add-on for that account.

BUT not until ;)

GOA suxxors, I didn't bring my account subscription password into work, so I cannot activate DR on my accounts, and it's all GOA's fault. You suxxors goa!

Haha :p

DR update is going at snail speed now. usually get 70 kb p/s min. Right now 2 comps and laptop all at 11k-15k and constantly failing on the larger files. Having to sit here and restart them every 3-5 mins :(

Still no keys from DLgamer, the email i got from them blames GOA :twak: .


Hope the downloads finish soon and the servers are back up.

You should use the BitTorrent download (which you can get here: http://daoc.goa.com/bt_goa/GOA-DAoC-DarknessRising-update180-BT.exe ) as it'll be a lot faster and stable than downloading 700+ megs on the patcher...

Already got the downloads last week from DLGamer - this is the 47 Mb update. Seems better now as i'm writing this the connection to the update server has not dopped off once in last ten mins <crosses fingers>.

Also just received my keys from DLGamer so i'm happy:) . Beer cooling in the fridge now ready for the servers to open.

Ah ok, the 47 megs you'll have to patch whatever happens.

As for the server connections - there was an issue with the patchers being flooded with too many requests (which caused people to get disconnected from it with weird error messages). We've increased the number of connections allowed though and it seems to be holding up ok for the time being.

My mum always said, if you dont have anything constructive to say then dont say anything at all.

No reason at all tbh to whine in this thread

Don't hold me to this but if you registered on their official website, why would you NEED a cd-key? Mine was just automatically flagged as having Darkness Rising activated which I presume is all I or anyonelse would need :p
