Random news snatched off WHA.
Creative director Paul Barnett told IGN that the client code, basically what customers will pay for in the box, will go gold sometime next week.
I can’t comment that since it’s under NDA, so I won’t.
Then there’s the latest Guild Highlight - Standards (only NA, no EU)
Really nothing new, a bit more detailed than what we’ve heard before.
Then there’s something about pre-order codes that I don’t give a sht about, it’s never anything about us Europeans anyway.
After that we find - ah! - an announcement marked with “[EU]“ Maybe someone believe that we actually exist over here.
Some dude named David Petit Got a long post about how it’s hard having five communities and other crap, the OP didn’t have anything to say, except that we are allowed to give them questions about GOA-related stuff.
There’s loads of good questions in there, none that has been answered yet, but keep a close eye on it!
Mark says that the OB download will be up on monday, still no date on the start of the OB.
On Monday, you’ll be able to download the client via a solution that is, quite frankly, better than what we are currently using. Given the concern/issues with the current Torrent setup, I can’t imagine any reasonable person being disappointed with what we are going to do next week.
TBH, I don’t get what problems people have with a torrent download, telling you what speed I had with the DL of closed beta would be against the NDA so I’ll stop here, altho’ I wonder what their “solution” is, a direct FTP download doesn’t really give you a badass DL speed…
