For the OP, I just tested the two different localconfig files and when I logged in the early access client it gave the information you said. But when I put in the testlive localconfig file, it said they are adding 4 more hours, so 8 hours total of patching. SO.. from being in the closed beta I can say that while they patch or put servers down, there is no downloading, which would mean your game client will "stall" for that patch time. hope this helps abit with the discussion.
<--- Pre-ordered, so ready to play
An hour ago, they said that it would take 2 to 4 more hours... that was after they added the 2nd 4 hours of patch time, so things should start to work again in 1 to 3 hours.
To people blaiming Funcom for updating this late, any MMO so far had a huge new patch at releaseday.
But from the current situation one can tell that they are using the patch servers also for the full game downloads, and this will not work too well on patch days. They should have sepperate servers for full client downloads.

aye mine too has just started. seems to be a 1.5gb patch mind.
If someone is talking in general chat in a language you dont understand, chances are they're not talking to you. So chill out and stop bitching about it!
Cant login yet, get an authentication failure, predictable, but one allways tries, dont we?
But, of course...hehehe....
Edit: I haven't played any beta. So it's all going to be new to me from the start. I only know I want to roll Dragon.
Doesn´t everyone want to play Dragon, since we know that dragons can turn intoo a true dragon as soon as they have gathered enough AP, they did this to make sure Dragons regain their true position in PvP and can conquer the world from there. I think i´ll be a golden dragon

Finally patching here too, not too big thankfully.
Now to decide on which weapons to start with, too much choice!
I patched up yesterday, so its a 1.57Gb patch ... and maybe more comming.
Its fast now, about 30 to 40 mbit or 4 to 5 MB/sec

Yeah, I get the "START GAME" button, now I just have to wait for my e-mail confirmation for Early Access (got the Grand Master pack).

Haha! Yeah, I keep trying to log in, hoping my email and my access are crossing paths somewhere in the ether...

Hmph ! And I thought Dragon would be the smallest faction, but I've seen many posts that are rolling Dragon...
My 4th character will be Phoenician without a doubt
