Downloading the 2200 files as I type this...seems to be going okay, as I believe it's beating the rush...

The DL seems to be slow (maybe traffic), only getting 12-20kb/sec on cable.

Well, not impressed so far...WHY would a game start someone out at lvl 15 with NOTHING but basic clothing and some spells? No armor, no weapon...ventured out of town twice (be prepared, more files to download when you zone, but just the first time), and got killed first by a mob 5 levels below me, then by a mob 6 levels below me...NOT having fun LoL...

I would think there would be a lvl 15 "kit" where they would give you what they would expect you to have earned by level 15...not even any money so you can buy a weapon((

Okay, went much better the second go. I made a new character and actually got a tutorial this time (didn't the first time). Also found something neat...in the first city, there are four npc's near the north gate, you can take one as a group member and go hunting---still only wearing rags, but at least I have a hammer

They did this before during the E3 show. Started at level 15. Its just so people can get a feel for the game at a more advanced level then nube. I didn't have much time to figure it out last time especially the PVP stuff. I really think people need more then 3 days to get the feel for a game. At least the WoW stress test was almost 2 weeks.
