Title: I caved Post by: Jobu on September 29, 2008, 10:45:22 AM I'm weak, and bought the game online (Direct2Drive is pretty good at being my late night hookup when I've got the shakes).
I'm still going to goof off with a few classes, test the waters and all. Whom do I nag about getting added? Title: Re: I caved Post by: FatuousTwat on September 29, 2008, 08:10:42 PM Is there any difference between D2D and disk? I've never used it before with an mmorpg.

Almost like you if you were to download a bittorrent of it... which you shouldn't, of course. Makes the install pretty quick too. I dunno what happens if I lose the download though, I never bother reading if they offer archival downloads.

They also archive your Keys - basically a nice storage system for your CD's. On the downside, some of the single player games require different D2D patches because they are essentially NO CD versions.

Title: Re: I caved Post by: Ingmar on September 30, 2008, 11:19:27 AM D2D is pretty good with their re-download policy, yeah - it is good that we can get it that way rather than through the EA Store which is *awful*. They charge you extra in order to be able to download after 10 days are up. :uhrr:

Yeah it does now. It didn't if you dloaded the pre-order version but I redloaded it after launch and it has the cinematic and the logo flying in instead of static.

Thanks for the info! |
