Title: Should i wait to download?
Post by: nameless53 on June 17, 2004, 04:55:57 pm
Hi
im thinking of downloading the game now. but i also see it will at sometime (i understand it may be many months even) will be in a new version.

im trying to decide what to do and maybe you can help me.

what do you think?
should i wait for the new version and then start downloading? or should i download now and then use autoupdate or patches from the site?

since it will take me a while to download the game either way, i wont mind either options...

thank you for your opinions.

What\'s your connection?

Personaly, I think you should try to get MB (The current version) running, get a few online friends and such.
Perhaps join some guild

I have a 56k dial up connection... i know its bad in some games, and i know it downloads slow
(3 hrs about for 20 megs each)
but ive played some games where lag was not very bad or bad at all unless i would get into an area where EVERYONE was fighting, casting, attacking ect...
so im hoping ill be able to play... and maybe also not lag and cause lag and things... so im sorry for that.
i can not afford a better connection...
parents wont get one JUST for games either... plus they dont use the internet so they wont get for me either.

do you know how the update is going to occur?
it does concern me a bit that not all the races are in yet. again, i dont mind the wait..
but can you change races when new version comes out?
i still havent made up my mind yet...
trust me, i would like to play...
(takes me 5 days to download perhaps though ha ha ha)

i cant be on internet 24/7 so i cant \"continually download\" either...
oh well.

ty for responce and more comming.

If you download now you\'ll have to re-download the entire new version later, as the auto-updater doesn\'t exist in the current version (but it\'s in the next version)
