And for the record, while I don't know how SOE is setting up their terrain files, WoW's vanilla continent textures (the entire "landscape" was a single massive texture on top of a height map) were each an entire 4 terabyte texture crunched down to a much more reasonable size.

Again, I don't know how SOE tackles texturing their continents. It would actually be pretty cool if a dev came in and informed us about how big a continent file really is, including JUST the height map and texture overlay, not the buildings and other natural objects on them.

Tray said his work was done(putting down stuff and buildt stuff on the islands) now higby had his work by balancing stuff.

so i guess the islands are done.

I think it won't get much bigger than 15 GB. All the code is already in, and most models and textures also (all vehicles will stay the same, crates, lights etc can be reused, new metal textures aren't beeded too).

I think at launch about 15 GB, and bigger later on when they add more continents, weapons, etc.

I hope for 25 gig

The game size is going to change between now and release, so there isnt any point in asking.

I have a whopping 1mbit connection, that for some weird reason gives me 200 kb/s at max. 9 gb will take me... well, most of a day pretty much

I'd hope there would be an option to preload it, but no luck

I'd rather not spend the day I get in downloading the game lol.

9gb aint much, but with my net it sadly still takes ages. The current standard is pretty much around 12-15gb and I'm sure PS2 might end up bigger once Amerish and Esamir are in too

Thats what i also think !Even you are TR i have to agree to this

Coreldan · 2012-07-22, 08:16 AM

I disagree, as someone with a slow internet, I'm very much interested in how big the client is.

Mirror · 2012-07-22, 08:17 AM

So the installer/launcher is 12mb and the game files are 8.8gb.

I would only expect the game files to grow as we get nearer release.

Dubious · 2012-07-22, 08:39 AM

AFAIK, its only tech beta now, so not everything is added
so dont be surprised if the size is doubled or even trippel of the current 9 gig

I'm right there with you. Sprint 3G, about 200 kb/s to 250 kb/s on good days. On average I do 100-150 QQ

I can't even stand the speed of 3G when using my phone lol. Guessing you have a legit reason for this self-torture? Lol

Coreldan · 2012-07-22, 09:18 AM

My reason for self torture is that for some incredible reason, my city is messed up when it comes to internet connections. A single company has a monopoly there (not a very big city, 40-50k people living there) and they have driven up the prices like that.

I pay 20€/month for that 1mbit connection. That's the cheapest I can have and as a student with little income, I don't wanna pay much more. In the next city around 50km off, for 20€ you get like.. 100mbits for that price.

To have like 50+ mbit, you gotta pay 70-80€/month around here.

Well, it's not as bad if you happen to live in a place with fiber optic.. but that's nonexistant unless you live in a new building

My average sustained download speed is 68-80KB/s, some times it will hold steady at 90KB/s.

See, I live 500m from where DSL ends and the cable company refuses to come here, even though they have internet a couple Kms away. So, my options are 28.8 dialup (because Bell has old line cards that can't do 56k!), commercial wireless (802.11g), or HPSA+ wireless (cell phone type). I've had the commercial wifi for the last 7 years, even though some times (for months on end), it has been terrible - I mean worse than dialup terrible).

The least expensive of my options:

HSPA+
Download Rate: 7.2 Mbs peak, 2-4Mbs sustained.
Download Cap: 3GB
Installation Fee: $99.95 on a 2 year term
Monthly Fee: $45
Overage Charge: $25 for an extra 10GB then 1.5¢ for each additional MB (that's $15/GB with no price cap!).

Commercial Wireless
Download Rate: 3 Mbs peak, 512 Kbs sustained.
Download Cap: None, but throttled a lot.
Installation Fee: I don't remember.
Monthly Fee: $45
Overage Charge: None

For that money on DSL and Cable internet directly in town, you'd get 100Mbs and 75GB usage. Dialup, because it requires a landline phone service (that I haven't had in 5+ years) is actually around $50/m, believe it or not!

That said, the company I have the commercial wifi through recently changed to HSPA+ and are more expensive than everyone else, so I am waiting for them to discontinue my current service...

Internet in Canada is a bloody joke. As a result, lots of us would like to know the client size.
