Rift Headstart

[Maeve]

You can download the client now. You can not patch the beta client. You will need to uninstall the beta.

Sadly the website is still down so I can't make my account yet

[Dachartach]

Oh. Good to know, thanks for that Maeve. Everyone else, note how well sober people can function!

[Maeve]

Most people are having a hard time downloading right now too. Getting error #2002. They are working on it.

I preordered through steam, download went smooth

[Vejuz]

Ah, nice catch! Thank you Maeve.

[Rer]

Hrm... so I made my account all up in the worlds of Trion, but now it isn't accepting my password...

tried changing it and its still herp derpin', this ain't good.

[Maeve]

I think Trion's site is getting pounded right now. They didn't announce the download until late today.

I would have rather ordered through Steam, but found the discount on the digital CE from direct2drive. Their site basically just directs you to Trion's for download of the game.

[Rer]

Yea I got it through Steam but obviously needed a Trion Accout , hopefully it'll fix itself up tomorrow.

If not, we'll see if their Customer Service is better than a pile of shit NCSoft

Update: Nvm, working

[Solvanirn]

Thanks for the headsup Maeve!!! Will download later as I have a lot of time to kill overnight tonight.

I tried to download via Steam, but I think I only was able to get the patcher and basic files. I expect to have a big download once I can log into the patcher. My Rift directory is only 153 MB.

Yep, spoke out of turn, didn't realize the size ><

It's almost 9 EST here and still not able to download. But I think Trion operates on PST.

Grrrr West Coast time zone making me stay up late to download stuff and then I'm cranky in the morning cuz my PC rebooted because of patches and updates and I don't get coffee and find out that the download failed and I have to go "do work" to "earn money" so I can't download the game that failed to download cuz I'm at work /grumble
