I installed and launched and now the launcher says it's going to download 2.5GB for the patch.
Is this correct? I live in South africa and we pay for bandwith.... 1GB = R100 ($10)
Maybe cryptic should've fixed the bugs before launching the game!
Also, I get 30 days free game time when buying the game, but I can't use it without setting up a monthly subscription!!! WTF is up with that?? That is false advertising guys!
I'm already wondering why I bought the game... so much hassles to get started.......
should've stayed with EVE
Cryptic should've fixed the bugs before releasing game?
Don't you know that more than half of that 2.5 gig is actually new content, not just bug fixes?
Have you played any MMO besides Eve??
We got LOTRO in December at my place, and we had to download 10 gigs after installations.
Yes that's right, 10 gig of new content
This is a pay to play, forever changing MMO. It means you'll get new stuff and changes every months for a while, then major patches every now and then, which means constantly downloading new stuff.
LOTRO does it
WoW does it
WAR does it
...need I go on?
2.5gigs? Average
And yes, I am in a limited bandwidth/download cap country myself. I just understand the market we're talking about. 2.5 gigs is nothing compared to some games you install and get told to patch.
I can understand you not wanting to download much due to your location, however, there are still more major updates to come so I'm afraid you will have to get used to it - it's what MMOs do, and this one has been out for a while now.
Although you have to setup a renewing subscription and a payment method , you are not billed for the subscription until after the 30 days subscription bonus.

Thanks for the offer, but i'm in Joburg. I'll just go and download it at the office.
