Ive been reading around about the closed Beta, I played Perfect World a few months back (not sure if it was the Philliphines or Malayasia version but it was technically in English) and had a good deal of fun. Now I have registered again since I could not seem to find my old login (none of the email addresses I entered seemed to work whenever I tried to find my ID or Password). Now that I am registered again I cannot seem to login to the game. After reading the forums I think I understand but let me just have someone verify this:

At the present time no one (with the possible exception of admins and gms) can login and play Perfect World. In about 24 days the closed beta will begin and at that time people who have registered can then login and play correct?

    um phillipines and malay versions have nothing to do with this version

    however, if you have entered a valid beta code to the account you just posted with (and your account says beta status accepted), you will be able to play the CB (you will need to DL the client for this version since the one you have will not work for it)

    It is possible to play closed beta in the 24 days in question.
    Make sure you are 100% sure you have your closed beta key, as it is essential to your part in the closed beta.

    - Thanks. =D

    That is odd, whenever I download a new MMO I keep the installation file on an external harddrive in case I want to play it again later on. When I reinstalled PW today I used the same installer I used back then, I dont suppose it automatically updates itself to using the International version by any chance? Maybe I should just try and find my old username and password from the old sites and see what the problem is.

    You have to re-download this version o-o

    Because you downloaded a sort of different version right?

    Do you think the CB will be HUGE like the completed MY versions that are 2.2GB?
    Or do you think it'd be pretty small like 789MB or something?

    It has been stated that the download is ~2.5G

    YOUR TELLING ME IT'S A 2.5GB DOWNLOAD FOR CB!?!?
    Shouldn't it be eeny weeny?

    Ohhh maaaan.
    I hope there's part downloads so it can be done MUCH quicker...
    But can someone tell me how part downloads work?
    Because I've never had to download something that big before...

    you people always forget that the game itself is not new - it's at least 2 years old so most of the content is already finished, unlike those new games - that's why the client is already 2.5 GB big.

    i wonder what compression they will use though, i was able to compres that other client down to approx 2GB including patches...

    It's not the memory im worried about I have 60GB left of memory.
    It's the sheer time it takes to download...
    That's why im hoping that there is a several part download.

    ^ that's an oxymoron ;)

    Anyway, splitted download files won't speed up your download, they're just useful for 2 reasons:
    - if one part gets corrupted during downloading, you will only have to re-download this part, not the whole client
    - people who have slower connections will be able to take a break between the parts

    Ah I thought that if say a download was 2.5GB that it would be split into smaller downloads hense being faster...
    So download at 2.5GB is still going to be slow be downloading the parts one by one and the parts are 70MB each...it'd still be as slow as ****?

    the speed depends on your connection speed and the server speed.
    if either of them is slow, your download will be slow.
    some download managers support multiple connections for a download, so that when the server is slow you will still be able to download at your max connection speed.
    The catch about this is, the server must allow multiple connection from 1 IP and also must allow resuming.
