its not an installer. though. It's not an 8 gig .exe file that I can send it's like the entire program files directory. And I am digging in it and I've found ini files that have user names and crap in it.

Basically it starts with a 40GB installer. That creates the icon on your desktop, the program files folder, the lobby.exe which is the welcome screen and main patcher, changes to your registry etc.

Once you log in it starts patching.... patching starts downloading and exploding 9 gigs worth of game into your program files folder.

So what's I'm trying to get at is... I can send it to you but it has stuff user id stuff written in it everywhere...

Unless you just want the 40gb patcher..

Something my buddy and I were talking about to is that everyone is going to have to download the game all over again at launch anyway. At least that's what they made you do with Age of Conan. I think MxO too..

Ini files can be edited though, right? Just remove the key information and include a readme with where to add your key in the ini. Unless it is created for your character name, in which case you can delete them and they will be created at char creation. Or is it more complex than that?

Just not looking forward to a 2 to 3 day patch...of course, the way our luck has been so far we won't have to worry about it because we will never get keys!

OK Tbone and I are working a test out to get the 9 gig patch to everyone so that once we get our beta keys we will be able to jump right in.

Related News: I tried logging into the game this morning and kept getting errors. I remoted into my home machine just now to try again and it's installing a new 34mb patch. So maybe it was a fluke.

As soon as I get a chance to poke in I will be screen shotting like a mofo.

I hope this goes without saying but keep any and all info and media obtained within teamspeak or this website to yourself. Do not share or risk killing the goose for the golden egg.

Edit: odd... it just says

Build 104
connecting

Then fails saying "Could not connect to server"

Is it possible that since you installed it on more than one machine, it will not work on the second machine? Even if you have the right login? I have about 3 hrs left on my download and then I will test and see if it is safe to share.
