It is now back on 1%. But I have the previous 18% in file format. I'm looking at them now. But it says 1%.
Halp.
If the patcher hasn't changed (and I don't think it has), it's okay. If you crash it restarts at what it left off at, but starts at 0% of what is left. You should notice the total file size left is less than what it was previously.
I think that 8/18/08 is a typo - it's supposed to be 9/18/08, which is the release date for WAR.
On an unrelated note WTF?!?
I just bought the $0.99 beta code deal from Target, and entering it into the beta center tells me it's an invalid code. Also entering it into the master account place says it's an invalid code. What gives?!

i have the CE preorder, and am guessing that since i cannot make a forum account or enter my open beta or any other codes until the 15th, then this is the same for you. try waiting until tomorrow to see what happens.

I suppose that makes sense.
I'll just sit here staring at my code, pretending I'm in beta.

WAR is Coming!
And so we must be ready...
Tomorrow the Mythic Account Center will begin accepting all Open Beta and Head Start Keys allowing all Pre-Order customers to register their accounts and prepare for the weeks ahead.
We'll provide instructions and let you know when it's open tomorrow, but we wanted to announce tonight that up to the first 50 thousand Standard Edition Open-Beta keys registered will be invited to the upcoming Preview Weekend in addition to all of our registered Collectors Edition Pre-Order customers!
While we haven't announced any dates yet be rest assured that the next few weeks are going to be action packed and this is your only way to get into the preview weekend if you missed out on the Collector's Edition.
have you even been reading the beta forums since before this? morons have always been around. not like the beta selection process chooses people based on IQ
So if I want in on this pre-order stuff, should I run down to Bestbuy to get my code and stuff or can I just buy it on bestbuy.com and receive me code online? I mean, the pre-order page on warhammeronline.com links to bestbuy.com's pre-order page. But I want to make sure I have my code instantly.
Finished the torrent after 6 days of uploading at 40-50kB/s, and downloading at 30kB/s, grrr... Then it tells me I need to patch another 700MEGS! currently patching at about 20kB/s....ARGH!!!

Bah! Just send me your account info.. you'll never download in time!

Anyone done it either way?
Pre-ordering from amazon got my codes to me instantly (accessible online), but it really depends on how each service handles it.
If bestbuy makes it really easy to cancel orders you can always just order, see what it says about the codes, and then cancel it if there's a problem.

Do not use Bestbuy Online. You will not get your codes.
Just spend 10 minutes and go to a store in person.
So I finally got my access from my CE preorder this morning and I'm trying to download the torrent of the client. Unfortunately, I only get between 10-30 kb/s. I don't have access to the router to set up port forwarding (I live in an apartment with free wireless internet). Anybody know of anything I can do to speed this up. Or better yet, has anyone seen the client available for a direct download anywhere? Heh, not holding my breath on that last part though.
Anywho, thanks if anyone has any words of wisdom, hope to see you all in game as soon as I can manage.

Yeah, I made the mistake of ordering through BB when the CE pre-order first hit, just to save like 5 bucks on shipping. They are supposed to be e-mailing out their codes in "mid to late August." So much hate right now.
Okay, thanks for the info. I was about to order amazon for the code, but now Im thinking I better do it in person. The beta client might not be compatible with launch and may require a retail disc installer to play. So I'd rather not have to wait for Amazon to ship me my box on release day and then have to wait a couple days for my discs. That would be torture.
I pre-ordered via Direct2Drive. Got my codes instantly. Then again I'm a sucker for digital distribution. Plus I've already got the client so I don't have to worry about the giant pain in the ass that would be downloading it again.
Considering that pre-orders get an early launch, I can't imagine they'll require a CD installation. AoC let you keep playing the beta client and just required you to add a retail key to your account within a week or something.

The Six Wangs would still be a Chaos guild. Wang of Sigmar maybe, but I think that might get us banned.
It'll probably be renamed.
There was a guild in Camelot called Bang Bus Drivers.
About a month later, it was renamed Boom Bus Drivers. And it was a big time RvR guild too, made up of a lot of big RvRers from the realm.

but now the starting zones are loaded with people asking here shit is every 5 seconds or why they cant meet up with friends right away.
But it's like there's so many more on your own side that you can't kill. This is why I'm in favour of any game that has intra-faction PvP.

It actually...doesn't. There is a method but it is convoluted to the nth degree.
