What I read was the download link will be on te main site as the download becomes available. So you need to keep hitting refresh to see, or hang out on irc and wait for people to start screaming that it's up.

will it be ready on the 18th? it was supposed to be ready on the 8th, before that in november. dnl itself was supposed to be released for a year now. the skill tree, i dont even want to get started on that. it was embarrasing to say the least. i had high hopes for this game and the developers, enough that i was dumbass enough to spend 60 bucks. feels like the time i logged in to check on dragon empires after hyping it up to all my friends just to see, sorry folks, cancelled. or like when neocron promised dome of york free a couple months after release, and a year later you had to buy it, and it amounted to updated graphics/hud that were worse than the origional, and 1 new city.
ad will get what they deserve when the forums open back up tomorrow. why they dont open today now that the free key giveaway is over i dont know. i kinda wish i were in the naysayer's shoes right now because mine do not feel so comfortable right now. the devs havent lived up to what they say, but i really hope the game does. three dissapointing mmrpgs in a row is a little much for me.
I too am amazed at the speed the 10,000 accounts filled up, but like the rest of you who got in or have thier pioneer subscription I am waiting to download already! I read something about the servers not being up until the 13th, but I thought that was talking about the fourms and what not that they took down so that we could have more bandwidth to register. Maybe they didnt think the 10,000 spots would fill up in less than 2 minutes.
The info I have comes directly from the FAQ saying that the game will be availible to down load at 6:00 PM GMT time. For those of you in Eastern Standard time that's 1:00 PM or in california it'd be 10:00 AM. All I know is they better not post pone this crap. Its bad enough all of the fans have had to wait countless months each time they pushed back the release date. If they push this back now too, I will be very upset.
You might not know this but all 10, 000 beta keys have been taken by a sole person in one minute and twenty seconds, That's right 1:20 seconds, 80 seconds all 10k keys were gone.
We must now play the waiting game and wait until they open it again to download the client.

I wouldnt worry too much about the download btw. It uses BitTorrent technologie, so the later you enter the more sources you will find ... really no need to panic

Same here...grats to all...
Seems crazy that 10k accounts went so quickly...I know it DnL was popular..but DANG
What I heard through the rumor mill was that the download will be a torrent.

I cant wait it lol I hope I can start download today.
Well, there's really no need to wait for the mail right now, since the server won't be up for another week. Said 13th on the registration page, no?
Pioneer here. I'm sadden by the fact that I needed NOT to register but DOWLOAD. IT's 2pm now They should've had the download available this morning.

The irc guys think the download will be tomorrow. I got registered, so well see when we can download.
I hope it will be a torrent, that way the mad stampede of downloaders will only assist my efforts at downloading the thing.

how do you get into the irc i pasted the url and nothing comes up?
IRC stands for Internet Relay Chat and requires an external programme called the "client".
You could try this one here, for example:
