Rather than waiting to download from fileplanet, just grab this torrent. It's the same client install.

I'm getting over 300KB/s

...make that over 800kB/s

I just got my key and initiated the download using firefox on vista. I had to reset the page about 20 times before I got it. I am now waiting in line for the download. I just wish there was somewhere else to download the client from.

 

edit- just saw the above post after I finally posted, downloading the torrent now.

Nope, just refreshing. I just refreshed once every 5 mins. A lot less painful that way.

ahh but according to the fanbois we paid for the beta, there was a need for it, and it was only $5 a month so if you didn't get it , because you couldnt afford $5 you must be homeless. Now, they are offering it for free. So basically you spent money for nothing, cause people were belittling you about not wanting to spend the money.


Ok..

So someone doesn't want to pay $5 to beta test a game from May 1st.. to what is it the 13th or 15th?

3 days head start if you pre-order starts the 17th...

Why would they decide to pay $5 because someone on a forum said they must be homeless?

Did the fanboi force them to pay.. steal their credit info?  Sounds like a personal choice to me.

Hell I have a hard enough time being able to justify paying $40 or $50 on most MMO's as it is...

Let alone $5 for 2 weeks (more or less) of a beta test.

At least if I pay the $5 for the 3 day headstart I get an extra 10 days of play time..thrown in.

So I guess the short version is.. what is the complaint again?

 

"We already have two operating MMOs. We launched a game called Ultima Online in 1997. It's still got hundreds of thousands of subscribers. Then there's Dark Age of Camelot, we also have a situation where we have well over 100,000 subscribers."

-Frank Gibeau of Electronic Arts.

Does it seem odd that UO has more subscribers than the best RvR game on the market?

SCIENCE PROVES CAPS LOCK CAN CURE CANCER.

Well, really, this whole FC / Fileplanet thing was a way for both companies to get marketting promotion from one another. You don't really have to pay to get into the beta, it's just one of those things that's supposed to be like...

"Hey! Didn't like fileplanet before? We added sumtin' new!!!11!! Rejoin us or join us for the first time to see all of our other great features!"

It was really just something used for Fileplanet so they could get their name across... if you registered JUST for the beta than that's kind of stupid... it isn't as if that is all they offer, and if you didn't see this coming then you are unfamiliar with all the complaining that has been going on for the past week on these forums.

While, like I said it works both ways, a lot of people on Fileplanet who weren't going to try AoC before though "Meh? Why not." and are enjoying it. Both companies benefit.

Whether or not this works... I'm going to be expecting a LOT of complaining. The download will take days for people to install lol... but at least now FC can really stress test their servers as well. You thought the whining here was bad before...? You haven't seen ANYTHING yet
