[Darothane]

Hi all,

A Friend of mine played Horizons back when it first came out and i loved watching him play and finally decided to have a look myself, will be playing on the Order server but unsure as yet what i'll be. will probably use this name for my char so if ya see me then don't be afraid to say hello :)

Hope to see you around Order. I'll be saying Hello when ever I see you! 8}

hehe thanks, i'll keep my eyes open for you. [;)]

I'm not happy at the moment though, i'd just started patching Horizons when i made my last post which was at about 3am this morning........ It's STILL patching at the moment so doesn't look like i'm gonna get to play till i get in from work this evening :(

[Darothane]

*sigh* only another 12000 files to go [:(]

[Darothane]

well, am off to work in 10 minutes and.......... 13000 files to go, i must have miscounted on my previous post [:S]

looks like i won't be playing till tomorrow now [:S]

that'll teach me for activating my trial before i downloaded [:'(]

[Darothane]

hehe, well i've just got home from work and i've got just under 3000 files to go so i should be with you all shortly [:)] i hope.

Hi, Darothane. Welcome to Istaria.

[Darothane]

hehe thanks, i finally got in after a whopping 22 hours patch time ( i can't figure it out... i'm on a 10meg broadband connection so have no idea what went wrong) spent the last 6 hours playing the game and loving it already.

Hmmm, connecting like that with a long patch time. One thing you might check for future reference is that before you log in and patch (Tuesdays), check the option for Multi-threaded patching. That allows the patching server to send you the new files while it's also scanning your current files.Just offhand, it sounds like you were not multi-threaded on the patching, so it would look at a file, determine it needed to update, download the new file, repeat.
