i haven't even played it yet and i'm already angry:

it's a hassle to dl neither gamespot nor any other web site than fileplanet has the client and i hae not 29mins to wait in a queue everyday.

the 2 firsts times i tried after the 40/30mins of waiting it didn't want me to dl it/crashed/rebooted the queue(wtf?)

the 3rd time was the good one and after 29mins of waiting this time (or 18 i don't stay in front of the page all the time) it dled it. the client. yea i said (allthought it IS a 2004 game) and clicked on it.

here the result:

the window mode crashed on high resolutions (wtf?)

you have to put it on fullscreen to run it, playonline that is.shitty 600x400 resolution (wtf?)

then it will begin installing (i give you the short version) and.......it will install updates. here's the thing that's been angrying me since yesterday.

it will install 19800files. don't tell me that's ALL the files since 2004?? you want new customers or not? get those compressed ! get those available on a REAL DAMN DL ACCELERATOR! do you reallize it's telling me it will be over in HEIGHT HOURS? (wtf?)

not only that but my flow is not steady and playonline cuts the communication when the flow is slowing. i can still surf on the internet, dl stuff but PLAYONLINE CAN4T DO IT'S THING?(wtf?)

once playonline cuts it you have to go back to that shitty resolution and wait for it to dl (again) some info it already dled 50mins ago and check the files. if you alt+tab your way to some more healthy rez, it will STOP(wtf?) you have to wait the 10mins during which it checks the already there files and once it begins dowloading again those never ending /heavy files you can go back to your rez and internet browser.

the thing is as it closes/looses the onnection on it's own you don't know until you go check.

let me tell you something. when i reinstall granado espada, i get a 2-3hours file dowload and that's it. the whole thing in a window somewhere.

but SE can't do that. you're paying the most expenssive mmo out there and they give you the wort service ever. fuck them.

if it's like age of conan, your 14days trial begins when you first intalled the game/files/anything and not the first fay you actually PLAY the game, i'll gladly erase everything ff11 from my hard drive. a nice mmo would be ff12 online. wait, that's what ff13 is! annd it will be free. ain't that great? suck that ff11.
