Has anyone been able to download the game the whole 14 gigs? Some posts lead me to believe they've done it, but for me the download button is permenantly blocked out on the installer.
WTF is thinking SOE without make a download link for the client. Tomorrow all will try to download the client and will be a adsolute chaos. How a company like SOE can be so n00b with things like this?
On another tone, I find the account creation on SOE one of the most annoyingly stupid systems I have ever saw.
I find that on an old free account, I probably put the wrong birth year, and can't change it. The installer tells me that I'm underage. Any way to modify this?
well, it's after midnite and the patcher/installer still says need a sub to play, but when you go to try to subscribe, it takes you to a page that says there is nothing to buy/ subscribe to....any thoughts? I have uninstalled, and reinstalled and still say s the same thing
Technically speaking you always need a subscription for this game, a free one or a monthly fee subscription.
Im not sure what time it becomes availeble but Im asuming you'll be able to register then.

No clue to be honoust, my acount was created 12ish years ago and havent had any problems ever since.
On a site note, granted it may be difference since Im using an old station acount.. ive seen much much worse.

Same just signed in with my old SWG account from 03, have SC to weird never purchased any before (was of no use in SWG). Anyway just as a heads up don't expect to play tomorrow. Just saw this on a link off the launcher (which you need to subscribe to DL right now so don't bother trying)
""We will perform maintenance on DC Universe Online beginning at 4:00 a.m. US Pacific Time on November 1, 2011 to introduce Free to Play. Due to the complexity of this transition we are unable to provide an exact estimate but will provide updates throughout the day. Thanks for your patience and we look forward to seeing you in game!""

Too bad the PS3 Client download isn't available yet. This is why it's going F2P, because their service is awful.
F2p goes live Nov 1st right? Well that's when it's available...
No s***? Any non-retarded developer knows to release the client a few days in advance to prevent server overhaul, whether its Alpha, Beta, etc...
The only ones (I know of) that have are the ones who have a trial, even then if you didn't plan ahead the days before everything is taken down, same scenario. DCUO didn't have a trial not on PC anyway, I recall seeing one on PS3 at one point. Anyway my point is the game is free what's the rush? It will be there for as long as the service is available, beginning today. I don't look at it any differently than a games release date, if it releases on the 1st, that's when you can DL it, not the 31st.

Well the client has been out for quite some time, so its just the f2p players, who will have a little delay. Just like they did not start a promotion campain to asure things are up and running properly. Even on their own site and forums they left the information limited instead of making it a huge anouncement.
Which I think is smart, Dcuo can spare a little extra time before starting the campains. I
Not sure if it was due to their DLer or the fact I have comcast blast, but that was a fast DL considering it was 14gigs, already done. Thanks for the heads up. Dl took around an hour.

It was downloading very quickly for me also but then I had to stop it to do something net intensive. Restarted it and boom slow as hell
Excuse me but the free to play game is not yet ready, check the site.
The Status is UP, the launcher lets the game start.. The site may not work for 1 month to come (just sayin`), it doesn't mean the servers aren't.
But it's time for my beauty sleep anyway, probably tomorrow morning it will be just fine.
Just another heads up, the f2P status thread was updated.

Servers are going down at 6am CDT for the free to play patch. They have no estimate on the length of the downtime.
Has anyone been able to download the game the whole 14 gigs? Some posts lead me to believe they've done it, but for me the download button is permenantly blocked out on the installer.
No, the only people that say they can download it are subscribers, or liers.
I have a new account, the download button is nowhere on the main page (I have used the link in this thread to get the installer).
The "download" button on the installer is greyed out, and the only option is to wait until they actually open it, later today.
So, ZeTaKa was not trolling, nor bashing SOE. He stated that it's dumb to not have the posibility of downloading the client beforehand, and I agree.
I downloaded it just fine using my existing station account. All 14.1gigs downloaded and installed. But as I said, I had an existing station account.
F2p goes live Nov 1st right? Well that's when it's available...

Ill have to check the acount section to see later but the patcher DOES work. It installed and updated the game for me just fine.
But then again I have an active subscription, which is required. The free versions arent availeble so it wont start the download.
It took me under 10 seconds to find that link btw.

Thanks for the heads up, DIstopia.
NP, figured I'd save people the trouble of following the link above to DL the client.

About time it switches over, I had been waiting since the Oct.15th rumor lol.
Probably won't be online in time for me tonight, but tomorrow it's game ON! Hopefully that is.. SOE has had difficulty telling time in my experience.
It was downloading very quickly for me also but then I had to stop it to do something net intensive. Restarted it and boom slow as hell
No signature, I don't have a pen
Disconected
Invalid subscription
Please exit the game and relaunch
NOT a good first impression!
