it kinda seems liek restarting launcher is helping because it starts off by saying 18 minutes, however it climbs rapidly after it gets to the point where it was stuck before.

my speed is 3.9 megabites per second, or 1632 Kbps ive left it on for about an hour after restarting it once and now its saying 4 hours

I bought game via the Direct 2 Drive website.  It took maybe 5 hours to download.  I finally downloaded and install client.  I open up client and start to patch it takes about 20 minutes to get the initial patch going after that the real patch starts and the time is saying 14+ hours to patch.  Wondering if anyone else experienced this problem or this is just me?  

I have a pretty good computer and a Cable modem connection.  Patching has never taken this long for anyother game.  Wow didnt even take half the time it took for me to install the client.  I am starting to get down and think that i made a mistake. 

Anyone have any tips to speeding up this patch, thanks.

just to clarify, so i can keep my trial account and upgrade it to full sub and get the 30 days free

the direct 2 drive all in 1 pack that gives me a free 30 days aswell?

I guess wat im  trying to ask is does the free 30 days include trial accounts already pre existing because the site says for all new accounts, would i have to make a new account?

yea i found that sticky after i posted :P

ok but i still have a question buying retail box gives you first month free?

does buying an all in one pack through direct 2 drive still give you the first month free?

Yea, im in the same boat as you.  I actually downloaded and tested the trial of the isle version and i loved it and would like to continue.  So many expansions tho I am not sure which to buy.  Should I buy original first then get expansions, or get latest expansion and that will have most of new content.  And do each expansion create new storylines therefore creating a new continent for players to play on like GW. I am just totally confused.  Can someone help me out and clearify this for me?  Thanks

I am totally new been doing alot of research into the game, read alot of documents. I was wondering about this inctence system.  never played a game like that before not sure if i would like it so i am asking anyone that is willing to give me a trial key so that i can test out the game please :) does this trial key only work for guild wars prophecies or does it include the new expansions?

thanks! hopefully ill become a fellow gamer.
