Hi,

Anyone have this downloaded that they could throw up a torrent for? Having to download all 1.9GB without having connection issues can be troublesome and not being able to resume the transfer makes it a waste of time.

Thanks

so anyways, is the reserves program both planetside and the expansion core combat, or just planetside?

[Marsman]

As of the reserves program, core combat is now part of the main game. All players past and present as well as the reserves get core combat now.

ok i downloaded it and it gave me a whole bunch of files, but it wont install or anything and clue as to what to do?

[Tuatara]

Created a torrent for the download so others can get it without doing the one big download. Check out mininova.org for link to torrent.

Yeah that is pretty good. I'm not sure why SOE didn't halt the selling of the standalone game, and do either just the bundle or the expansion on its own, though, as that probably would have solved the issues for people who were trying to figure out what they had and what they still needed.

Q: How would a PlanetSide Reserves account user convert to paying subscriber?
A: On exit from the game, you will be taken to a website that will allow you to purchase the game client and upgrade to a monthly subscription for the price indicated on the website, which includes the opportunity to obtain the Battle Frame Robotics (BFRs), the giant robot units, and gain more XP to progress through higher Battle Ranks. With higher XP you will be able to gain new implants, better weapons and higher command ranks.

Thats what i dont get, it never popped up with a webpage for me.
I wanna sub to this game, i just dont know where i have to go to do it.

[Hamma]

I am uncertain - I havent run the reserves install myself.

[Phaden]

so i see it is getting near the countdown, any ideas if they are going to continue it, or will player base suddenly dry up?

[Hamma]

Actually - I am trying to get an answer on that. Will post when I hear ;)
