80-100kbs and 6 gigs to go for patch....lame, but expected.

I find it odd how often people want to compare AoC to VG. I know VG is something of a baseline on what not to do now, but I don't get that VG feel to this game. Not nearly the amount of NBA breaking, nor bashing that VG got. What I do see is spec comparisons.

Which makes me wonder, was Brad kind of right techwise, and did his game simply launch 12 - 18 months too early? How close are release VG specs to AoC specs? How close to recommended are they? It does seem that the technology catch up that Brad felt was going to happen, has indeed done so to a large degree, just a couple of years later then he thought it would.

I'm not saying that clears any of the issues with VG. And we did know that eventually the tech would push upwards. But the changes have seemed to be more subtle rather then the massive "next gen thing" that often happens in computer hardware.

oh and To add an extra patch to improve the gaming experience and quality of gameplay, the official start time of the IGN Open Beta now is:

20:00 GMT (8 pm GMT)
(to check the current GMT time please refer to GMT: Greenwich Mean Time - World Time / Time in every Time Zone)

We wanted to add the extra update prior to launching the servers rather than to fix it shortly after the start of the Open Beta.

Users who have registered for the Open Beta will also receive an information e-mail about this in their inboxes shortly.

Thanks for your understanding.

if this means I have to DL another 15gig patch I gonna be pissed as all hell.

The open beta servers were to open at 10:00 am CST, but 9 minutes before they opened, they pushed it back 5 hours.

NM - too late with that!

VG ran like shit early on no matter what hardware you had which is part of what killed it.

I love how it says "Authentication failure. Please note that passwords are case sensitive." rather than just mention that the server is down or what not.
