I now officially hate fileplanet.

During the download I get a network error.  Go to their support page.  I'm to disable my firewall.   Not open any ports but disable it.   Not an option.

Anyone know what port their stupid DL manager uses?

What confuses me is that I DL'd a movie from it last night without issue.

My hax0rd logs of Tydd's firewall reveal an incriminating download of a file called blueboysonfire.mpg from yesterday.

Anyone surprised?  :)

Keff wouldn't you be better off just downloading it once and using two keys to install it?

sorry, Tydd's right.  I misrepresented his movie viewing activities.

It was actually blueboysonfire2.mpg

How can you misrepresent the movie viewing preferences of a guy with the headliner 'Purple Monkey'.

hey i downloaded the client and got my key last night
i have a lvl 7 warlock on test server 1 : ) it's a normal (not PvP) server

lemme know what server the vengies are joining and i'll switch over if it's a different one.

btw, it's pretty cool, they use very nice graphics engine that give it a solid cartoon feel and also must be engineered better than DAOC since i get no frame rate drop even with 20 or 30 toons/mobs in the frame (unlike DAOC) and that's at 1280x1024 with all in game settings, including anisotropic filtering, on highest.

Seems more quest-based than DAOC, which is also cool, and it keeps you guessing a lot less than DAOC, like it tells you when you've picked up a quest item, and then flashes how many you have, how many more you need, and when you're done it highlights the NPC's location on the mini-map for you to turn in the item and complete quest.

i like the control interface too, you can look around by just dragging the mouse cursor around, instead of toggling into 'mouse mode' like DAOC.

P.S. DAOC is the only other MMORPG i've played so my range of comparison is somewhat limited. : )
