hmm.. sincei pre - orderd it befor hand does that mean i have to do somthing else then once i sign up there ? Also got a link to register ? the one i got keeps asking me for a Validate Key , which i dont have ...
With your preorder you should've received a cd-key style code to enter in the Funcom site, without the code you can't do early access, whether you pay $5 or not.
took me about 6 hours to download the client... Id look into your firewalls and if you opened the correct ports. I sound to me more like you have issues with the torrent.
as for the speed of this VS the server, thats a silly compairison. The game is on a server, this is a torrent, completely irrelivant.
after 6 or so years, I had to change it a little...
Perhaps I can help with your problem/question since I too was wondering why I kept getting only the Anarchy Online info. I had an old 2001 account setup with old password etc; entering that will always bring up AO subscription items.
This is how I entered my pre-order key: Log onto the AOC site. On the left side there are 3 boxes with links on a chain. First is Preorder; second is Registration, third is News Feed. Click on the second box (Registration) it will open where you need to be.
Use the left box which has: Click Here For Beta Registration at top, and Sign Up For New Account below that, with a box to enter the preorder key. This will require you to make a new account for Conan, unless you previously had one from being a registered Conan forum user .
After the window opens and account info is entered, you can select the $5.00 0r Euro option as well as the monthly subscription type. An e-mail will be sent (mine still did not arrive) confirming your payment was recorded then a d/l link is provided. Many have stated e-mail was not sent but their accounts went from pending payment to open or some such and the d/l link was in their account info area...unconfirmed tho...best to read what others are posting on official forums good info there too.
The $5.00 gets you 10 days of free play as I understand the terms.
Also, if any care to read the sticked info on the Conan forums, there is a note from the developers with a picture and instructions on the d/l client that may assist in speeding up the d/l with the port # to open if behind firewalls and other minor info.
I am east coast with Roadrunner Turbo 1.2 Mb service getting 290-310 d/l speed if any care.

Downloading from Texas at a whopping 50KB/s... I got the fileplanet BETA download at 600KB/s so that's quite a change...
Yeh, my download speed has increased from 10 mb/sec to about 92 mb/sec now.. but still have 1 day, 16 hrs to go, lol.
Oh well. Can't play it until Saturday anyhow, so no rush.

bummer.. My download took about 8 hours all in all with varying speeds of 400-580, I just left it over night.
Hope yours picks up a bit.
