Logistic Questions about the Download on the 26th

March 20, 2003 2:09 AM from

I guess the time has come to ask many questions: When will we be able to download the game. As a beta tester who has already paid for everything, and has both Drengin.net and Stardock Central installed, will I be able to open one of these applications at midnight and download the game? Will I have to wait until the start of business, or jump through any additional hoops to start the download. If we can download immediately at midnight, will the bandwidth be there if I and the rest of the geeks who love this game all try to do it simultaneously? If not, will the availability be based on title, or playerID, or maybe Metaverse standing

? Will I uninstall the beta and install a fresh copy, or will it work like previous new version downloads, where it automaticlly updates the necessary files? Are we there yet? Why do you park on the driveway and drive on the parkway? Why do we call it taking a dump when you don't really take it anywhere? Shouldn't we call it leaving a dump?

Please feel free to answer any or all of these questions. I would prefer answers from Stardock Personnel, but anyone with a thought is encouraged to share it.

BTW, in case no has sucked up to you guys today, great job on everything, and congrats on nearing the end (at least for a day or so)

Frogboy has stated in multiple threads that at midnight on March 26, 2003 you can download the game. In each and every post he has neglected to mention the timezone. I think someone said they are in CST, though.

Sorry to ask a question that was already answered. In my laziness, I usually now only open SDCentral, and don't visit the site as often as I should.
