I just boaght the game from BT games, they are on special there :)...

You can only patch this game if you have created an account online with your cd-key, but alas to my disipointment I now have a 2032MB download waiting on me to play this game :sick:. With my 2gig capped telkom account this game just became unplayable for the rest of the month. Which pretty much means unplayable for alot of people in general.

Just thought I should warn people about it before some go ahead and buy it.
:(

BTW, if anyone knows of a way to get this patch 1.3 locally I would much appreciate it.
 
Yes, this is one of my pet peeves with Warhammer...really really stupid. You can't update the client unless your account is -active- . With most MMOs i play on and off, i tend to update them every now and then with my extra bandwidth [even if i have cancelled] just for in case i start playing.

Warhammer basically ensured i -never- return once i cancelled my sub.

I actually considered going back for the new content and realized i will need to download about 2GB of updates, but as you mentioned now you need your account active to do this, so i can't idly update and then sub once it's downloaded...so i just went "Screw it" and updated my Age of Conan client and played that instead..

Most MMORPG's these days have huge patch updates from the retail version when you buy it and is to be expected.I wouldn't wanna guess how Big WoW,AoC or LOTRO patches are from retail, well in excess of 2 gig I reckon.

In all honesty if you buy the game then you have pretty much committed to playing right ? So I don't really see the issue with only being able to update when you have an active account.

If you live in Durban I can give you the updated Client ;)

But you see, the problem is he have to actually activate his account and login before he can grab the patch which means he is loosing out on the 30 days he was suppose to get to play, where as with LOTRO and AoC you can patch without loging in.

Have a look at this http://thepiratebay.org/torrent/492...EU_-_Full_Client_-_Using_WAR_official_tracker . Maybe it could be usefull if you did not activate yet. I checked mmosite.com but they only got the old beta client. Dunno where else you can get an updated version. Would offer my own copy but think it is way too old, I basically played this game at release date and did not continue my sub.
