Unless you want to download twice.

[Hectic Hate]

Any word on if this means the launcher or the game itself?

[JADO]

It would be the game itself not the client.

[MyMeatStick]

Both to be safe I guess.

[Ironmerc]

I downloaded the launcher, did not attempt to log in though. Logging in would start the download yes?

Yes.

[OnexBigxHebrew]

I'll be doing it anyway, lol. :D

[Hamma]

Just means you will have to patch.

[Ironmerc]

ok gtg!

[Predemption]

Are they patches or do we have to download the whole client again every update?

[EightyBit]

Well I hope the patch is not as big as the full client. I am on a slower connection and need all the head start I can get.

[Nordan]

I downloaded it in a few minutes. Servers are down, not much more to say.

[Trignite]

Just means you will have to patch. But how big will the patch be?

[Hamma]

No idea.

Ok :(

[JoeBro]

LOL I wish I would have seen that 3 hours ago.

[Looopy]

i got the email, but i guess im not flagged cuz i cant download

[Comet]

Servers ae down and Smed asked us newbies to not DL the beta client until they fix the current issue anyway.

[Dagron]

If you got the email i'd say it's just a matter of time, they're having a lot of issues right now.

[sameer]

Still? common i wanna start...

[Comet]

I wouldn't be surprised if they don't come up tonight.

[Malckeor]

^ Yeah, I highly doubt we'll get to play tonight. They aren't going to keep the servers up for only 3 1/2 hours. Not to mention Smed said that he wanted to give everyone time to play Guild Wars 2 without it detracting from their time in the PS2 beta.

[CraniumHunter]

I wouldn't be surprised if they don't come up tonight.

It'd be awesome if they'd just say that. Something like, Hey guys, probably not coming up tonight. So don't waste your time waiting around for us.

[Comet]

An update would be appreciated for sure :)

Saw that too. Not sure if its good news or bad news yet :P

[Comet]

Anymore updates? :(

[Lavoieqc]

Anymore updates? :(

No :(
Think I will go sleep to play tomorrow morning (servers open from 6am to 10pm)

[Vanu Playa]

Just launched the game again, and it ran some patches but the servers still appear offine.

[Satexios]

Is the NDA lifted or are you guys that dense :P

[HeatLegend]

REMOVED: realized it may have broken NDA somehow

[gaz]

damn:

[VikingKong]

Argh! That's 18:00 UK time.
Kong smash! (╯ಠдಠ）╯︵ ┻━┻

[Lavoieqc]

somebody knows if we can download the client now or we still have to wait for servers to open if we dont want to have to download the game twice?

[gaz]

i downloaded the client yesterday, even if they said not to. it was pretty fast doesn't seem like p2p (besides i'm having 50 Mbit/s)... so if you have enough bandwidth and no traffic limits, i don't see a reason to not downloading it yet.

[Nordan]

Hah, I'm happy I decided to go to bed yesterday. Would have been a long wait time for the servers to go up.

[sameer]

So we can dl now?

[SkarBlade]

Well this sucks, I downloaded the client and installed. :(

[Pepsi]

Well this sucks, I downloaded the client and installed. :(*Brofist*

Fight the Power!

[SkarBlade]

*Brofist*

Fight the Power!

I hear that. I had to delete it all and wait until 1pm est just so I can re-download lol.

[Nordan]

I hear that. I had to delete it all and wait until 1pm est just so I can re-download lol.

Seems pointless, I don't see how patching can take longer than downloading the whole thing all over again.

[SkarBlade]

Seems pointless, I don't see how patching can take longer than downloading the whole thing all over again.

Yeah, they should've release a patch so people wouldn't need to un-install and delete and re-install after the servers on.

[sameer]

So still not safe to dl?

[Nordan]

Yeah, they should've release a patch so people wouldn't need to un-install and delete and re-install after the servers on.

They have though, I never uninstalled it and it works fine for me.

[Karriz]

Is it time to download now? Some people are seeing US servers online.

[sameer]

Ive been dl since this morning. This is bull. I dunno if I gotta start again or not. dl has like 3 hours left.

[Looopy]

Mine is still giving me the no need to sign up again message even tho i got the email, anyone else having this issue?

[Ghryphen]

This thread is based on old info, you can download now. Take tech issue with the game however to the beta forums due to NDA. http://pside.co/ps2forum
