Just got a CB key - worth it?

Does anyone know when CB is over. I just logged in my beta account today and noticed I have the CB key sitting there so I am dling from the torrent now. Although if it is just about to close, no point spending 24hours killing my bandwidth on the torrent and might as well just wait for the OB.

    I suggest you to wait on the open beta with your code entered

    because Torrent is very slow ,for me and it will have another way to donwload the game on august 18(which is the open beta start)

    Oh so CB is over come the 18th? Guess there is no point to continue the torrent then.

    I see, so this is just to "preload" the game to prepare for beta. Does anyone know if I can just wait until the client release on Monday and use that for the CB, or that will be strictly a new build for OB?

     

    I just hate torrents

    Dont know if i am right but i think that if you are a CB tester then you are in for the OB test.

    So if i where you i would register that CB key , and try out the game asap, to see it's progress and look at if i could help with bug report. ( better chance to get some bugs out of the way if some left so that the experience will be even better at lunch )

     

    Just what i think.

    Yes, Monday download is just a preload for Preview Weekend and Open Beta. The client coming out on Monday should work just fine for you.

    I dont see a problem with entering the CB code, I am in both the CE OB and the CB. Can enter both codes.

    Sent me an email if you want me to mail you some pizza rolls.

    I have both codes entered. I was just wondering if the client coming out on Monday will work in CB as well or only for OB. Reason am I asking is I prefer not to Torrent the CB client since it takes so long and really kills my bandwidth. If I can use the client come Monday, I will just wait for that client as opposed to torrenting the CB (I am talking about using the "Monday" client for CB, not just for OB).

    I would just leave the torrent download in the background.  Who knows it may finish in time to get some playtime in this weekend.

    I'm hoping it will finish by tomorrow, but as it's running, it takes around a minute just to load this page, and forget about online games...

    It should, I dont see why they would bother sabotaging the dl when if your account isn't in the CB you can't play in it.

    If you arent going to use the CB key bc of the horrible torrent speed (takes forever to download) there is another option.

    I have a CB account, but only one, and my brother is over for the weekend and we really want to play together, so if you dont want it, we could definitely use a second key.

    Otherwise, neither will play the CB if we cant together.

    Thanks for letting me ask.

    Have a good day regardless.

    Angel, did you bother to read his post? He already activated the CB code and is presently downloading the torrent, he'd just prefer to stop the torrent download and wait till the faster download on Monday if possible.

    My advice would be to bite the nail and cancel all plans of gaming tonight and tomorrow morning. Use that time to download the torrent becuase nobody can give you a definite answer.

    It would suck to wait for the Monday download just to find out you need the torrent for CB.

    Yeah sorry, the code was already activated. I ended up finishing the torrent. After a 3 hours or so at 40KB/S, it picked up to 900KB/S and up, so it finished quickly after that.

     

    Now I'm just trying to get into the game. I just can't seem to find a class that I want to play (I know the start is boring, but every MMO I played, I always got hooked from lvl1. I don't feel the same way here). I will still try it out and get to a higher level, since I was waiting for this game for quite a while
