Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't 20:00 PDT, 8:00PM PDT? If that's true... then the update has been extended to 11:00PM EST.

Another thing you guys have to realize they are completely updating the servers right now, and it's not like some other ****** MMORPG with 4 servers.... they have 30... 30 servers to update at the same time, not only that they have to test the update out. They work their asses off for us although they get paid nicely you still have to be patient. Imagine if they never had any updates.
/cry

Hmm, couldn't they have just broken this patch down into like 5 smaller patches to take place during times when everyone on EST is sleeping?

I am not sure if this has been posted yet (to be honest I didn't really look, but I thought it should be in this thread as well)

Edit : I downloaded the patch in a little less than 20 minutes ^^ and this was already posted on page 4 by Karaiah I believe, I apologize. ^^

That is true... but more people will be hammering the servers soon which will make the downloads go slow so I'd rather download it overtime then have to download the WHOLE patch at like 2k/sec.

The patch is still uploading, so if you download now, you'll have more to download later (I just downloaded 740-some files, logged on again, and had more to download)

DRK
# Jun 28 2004 at 6:51 PM Rating: Decent
why is every1 talking about sam and drg abilites, all i want is for guillotine to be at 49 like pentra thrust is. thats not fair, drgs get their best ws before drks do, they outdamge us for 11 LEVELS!!!!!!
RE: DRK
# Jun 28 2004 at 8:17 PM Rating: Decent
yea but dude, if drk got it the same time, then drg would be obsolete...meaning it would lose its effectiveness even earlier....so instead of being hard to find a pt at lvl 55-60 its at 49-55...which kills everything ><
So bored
