    Its better to post on an already created thread than to make a new thread concerning the same topic

    That way its not like dozens of the same thread talking about how long it took to download this game

    Mods and GMs would say the exact inverse to you.
    Maintenance time. Please choose a line:
    - When is it over? OMG I need my fix!! *super spazzing*
    - Fix the damn bugs, dammit! I'm so angry! I'll quit!!
    - New codes out there? I like free stuff~ *wink*
    - When will we get new content? QQ
    - Will we get sales? I got a ton of gold to spend.
    - I'm bored, I'll create a useless thread to annoy Opkorock.
    - *Incessant poking on Sweetiebot* Fun~

    No, it's not better, especially since it often brings up out of date information. How long it took to download in 2008 (when this thread was started) isn't likely to be the same in 2010.

    See also the "PWI Community Forums: Rules of Conduct v1.0 - read meh!" thread which states:
    Necromancy: Any thread over one month (30 days) old is considered to be a dead thread. Posting in a dead (necro) thread will cause it to be locked. Repeated posting of dead threads can result in a ban from forums/game.
    So, no, please don't necro.

    Took me like 10 hours. I have crappy internet. You computer speed + Internet speed decide the download speed. Dial-Up sure is a piece of sucky ****.

    25 hours... Oh my god, I'm not even kidding. :-| I think that was in January of 2009. Then I moved and didn't have internet for over a year. Finally got bored playing Facebook apps the other day and started looking at all the icons on my desktop. Rediscovered PW among them and downloading all the patches took like 2 and a half hours. :-P But all the time spent downloading PW doesn't bother me now, 'cause play is quite fun :D b:pleased

    My computer is pretty fast and other things I download they download pretty fast.
    It's been about half an hour and I'm about 5% done with the installation...
    I was just wondering if it took you guys long too.
    Don't get me wrong, I'm excited to play, the game looks awesome. Just wonderin'.

    Took my computer about an Hour .
    Pretty fast I guess .

    It took me about 20 - 30 minutes. My computer is fast and my Optic-connection (Fiber-glass) is 20/20 Bbps (Mega bits per second...).

    And speed of your computer doesn't really change the download time. -.- The difference betwen 20 mins and 20 hours is mainly your connection speed. (You can check connesctionon http://www.speedtest.net)

    (^.^) but when you really need them they simply vanish.

    >>> Proud cleric that can never be found. ^^
    >>> Sorry for my misspelled words. Please, correct me (Not a native speaker and typing on my phone).
    >>> Also tell me that I'm an idiot if my post sounds idiotic.

    Now I don't feel so bad taken me 2 hours to download 150MB off of my new laptop with 4GB memory and 320GB HDD. I thinks it's like a 5GB file which is about 5000MB so you can see I've got a way to go, lol.
