It is retarded that they send you an email saying DOWNLOAD THE GAME!!! ... but not let you download until servers are up. Counter productive...
ermmm, would you like to download only on 12pm today, where everyone is trying to download at the same time_
No, they give you the option to download BEFORE it just so you can play the game as soon the severs are up.
And guys... you're expected to
read the e-mail they sent you.
They were very clear that
the servers will be up on Thursday 12:00 PM Pacific time
Its common sense that you won't be able to play it before it.
Also, "download now" is very different from 'play now', specially when they told you that THE SERVERS ARE NOT UP YET!!

Making posts calling anyone stupid for trying to download the game or patch it ahead of time isn't the best way to welcome a new batch of testers to the forums. It is quite a reasonable expectation afterall that you'll be able to start a download of something before it becomes useful. But maybe a full day ahead of time was a bit optimistic.
I'm sorry, I didn't meant to call anyone stupid or anything (which I'm pretty sure I didnt do), just help people out and make them stop creating multiple threads asking the same thing.
See, you might think thats a 'reasonable expectation', but I have a different view of what this might be:
Reasonable expactation would be someone read the whole e-mail that explained everything you need to now.
Still got questions_ There is a FAQ (
Frequently
Asked
Questions) thread that just might help you out.
And yet you have unanswered questions_ Time to use the 'search' function. Be sure if the same doubt havnt been answered on another topic.
Did all that and still have doubts_ NOW you create a thread.
All the above are quickier than creating topic and wait someone to answer it, but no, some people just don't do that.
I didn't call you guys stupid, is that I can't help to be a little pissed off with all this.
I'm SURE some of the staff get pissed off with this too, but they would never made a reply like mine. They're professionals, and they will patiently answer all your (already answered) questions.
So I do it for them. A thread with a little sarcasm just to give you guys a hint of what is expected of you.
(which is, in case you didn't get it: read and THEN ask. In that specific order whith no exceptions)
You made a mistake. Thats okay, just don't do it again, now that you know what to do.
(and yet I'm sure somene on wednesday will say "I can't play it! WTF, this game sucks")
