Longest MMORPG Download

[badwolfx]

What is the longest MMORPG game download you have ever sat through?
You have to have actualy finished the download and I dont care if it was free or paid for.

For me I have nooo idea. Iv played quite a few.

82 hours for CABAL online.

I installed Pirates of the Burning Sea from the DVD. Then I went to patch it, and the game found it funny to download the entire client. Really slowly. It took a week.

Age of Conan open beta, biggest waste of bandwidth ever after I actually got to see how wank that game was.

I was planning to download WOW but it would have taken me 2 weeks

I must be lucky then. My longest patch was 25 hours. 25 hours of sleep, work, and not PC gaming.

Back when I still had dial-up I downloaded Ragnarok Online. The file was something like 1gb, but it took me forfuckingever to download at 3kb/s.

To get up to date patching on WOW right now would be.....irritating to say the least. But after the next expansion it should reset.

I think it depends mostly on how good your internet/settings are. WoW actually took, maybe and hour for me to install after a recent HD wipe, the patching process after that only took maybe 30mins, which is weird, because the individual patches on patch days usually take longer. Also, the pre-loader helps -alot-. It's buzy downloading while you're playing.

Longest? Hmm...I downloaded the City of Heroes/Villains Trial/Client, took a day and a half heh. I actually went to sleep and went to work that very day, it was only finished about a hour after I got home

Yea forgot about that one, all patches for city of heroes take FOREVER to download. Then when you have them for some reason it has to go through all of the COH data (several GB) with a fine tooth comb just to make sure the patch applied correctly. A process which takes an exceptionally unnecassary amount of time.

Definately a toss up between CoH and Galaxies both took an age!

Lol I love the fact the OP has no idea, and yet expects others to know.

I tried to download the GW client on dialup. Took me a day and a half to download the client, then another day to download the patches. Phone bill casued a bit of a stir that month.

 

[Archindar]

World of warcraft. it took me 4 days to download it and all the patches and i got a 24 mbit/s conection. Talk about slow speed.

I think my roommate spent about a week trying to download an update for Burning Crusade bfore realizing his laptop was completely borked.

When i reinstalled Star Wars Galaxies on my new pc, using launch CDs (2002, 2003?). I then realised i had nearly 6 years worth of patches PLUS the CU and the NGE. I wasnt happy- 2 days! Fourtunatly my pc is silent so i went to bed, then took up guitar hero

Dudes, Warhammer beta download, downloading the whole game via torrent took more than 48 hours! Thank god it took like 1 hour max when I finally received the discs for the live game...

Looking back on it i should have gone through the beta.

I decided to download it through fileplanet.... 6 hour queue for it... got close to downloading it and accidentally closed the browser... so i had to do it again and then came the download...ugh.

suffice to say i'm never doing that shit ever again.

That sounds like my story, except it took longer (I had a dialup connection! It was getting top speeds downloading of around 4 kbps! I am so glad I don't have to put up with that anymore....It was utter madness.....)
