With 170k accounts, why is it, they can hire a Wiki editor/writer...but they cant hire some local kid to burn CD-Roms.
I (once again) am comming back to Eve-Online. My last build number 3896 seems to be unsupported by patches. So I am forced to download the full build...all 555.8MB...with my blazing speed of 56k modem.
Yeah I can see this comming...Get DSL...Get Cable...etc...etc...Well You all going to pay the phone company to build a new junction in my area? Or pay the cable company to run the lines to an area they dont want to?
I have talked to both of them and they refused service to my area...the breaks of being a land owner in the country side I guess.
The only option I have left is going to cost $500.00USD to BUY the equipment...But if you all want to chip in a couple of bucks here and there...I would not turn down the offer hehehehe.
So back to the subject...CCP how about it? Hire a local kid to burn some CD's for the store, what ya say?

Problem is that every time there is a patch, you'll need a new CD.
IF you have a mate who is fortunate enough to be on a high sec link, see if they will download the client and send it to you. Either that or pop in to an internet cafe with a high speed link and download form there to a cd or flash drive.
I feel your pain tho, 600mb near enough is a week long effort on slow dial up connections.

Edited by: Splagada on 19/09/2006 11:24:06 the cost of a distribution network is a huge part of a company recurring costs.
i can understand they prefer to lose a small percentage of customers for a huge expense cut like this
they however would need some large scale tv ads, or in sci fi stuff, to increase visibility.
Every place i went in and played eve(cybercafes), people loved it, but nobody knew about it before. and it was always "gamers"
and the name, people think its dating online

Well you could do one of 2 things -
1/ Get satallite broadband. 2/ Ask someone (say, from a forum related to the game, perhaps) to burn off a copy for you. __________________________________

Now this really isn't very handy, when I was on 23K dial-up I know that I used to get cut-off every two hours exactly, it was the ISP saying "buy broadband" but it wasn't available in my area. even if his doens't cut him off then you can't expect him to tie up the phone line for so many hours. I hope that a forumite can burn him a copy and send him or that he can buy the gallery cd.

man no wonder eve is sooo laggy when people still in the 80s are using 56k modems on it, All 56k users should be banned until they can afford a real internet connection.

You know I looked at that awhile back ago and again this morning....Exodus...I will say thats about ohhhhh 14 patches out of date.
The problem of having a mate burn one...well my mates are in Germany, or downunder...and have not heard from me for about two/three months...(can we say smoked computer)
And for the one that poped in to troll...must be nice useing daddy's internet conection...Maybe you should have read my post from begining to end?
Yeah I am doing overnight downloads...have to end it before work, but I am still looking at 30 hours of downloading here.
And if I can get EON as quick as I do, then why cant they offer that service? Would you chose, if you had too spending 15-20USD every six months to get the full uptodate build? Instead of hours of downloading? This is as bad as it can get, but don't bet on it. |

and realize that the reason you can no longer use older clients, is they updated the client to dragon.
ie, you have to download the new client to be able to update... and play...
as others have said.. get someone you know to download it for you and mail you the cd.. or get them to bring it to work or something..

I live in the city.
In an area of town I hate.
Next to people I don't want to know.
But I have easy access to Both High speed 5mbit DSL and 5Mbit Cable.
You have lots of space and green grass.
You chose to live in the country becuase of it's plus's to you. May be a working farm, it may just be a beautiful plot of land. It may be your dream house.
The Pros' of that location obviosly outweighed the Cons of being out in the boonies.
Suck it and get used to it.
Find a family member who has high speed internet access. Haveing to go in and visit them for an hour while they download/burn your game of choice once ever 3-4 months shouldn't be too big of a hassle.
Otherwise, move to the city, with all it's infrastructure and other great things.

It strikes me that this is something worth asking CCP about. My interpretation would be that they forgot that it said Exodus and that this would be a CD-R made up when ordered. Otherwise the phrase "Latest Version" is redundant.

Maybe thats why your Eternally Furious. Who knows, maybe you need to move to the country and get a bit of fresh air.
And how does this even remotly effect you? If CCP makes the CD's to order (which any sensible company would do instead of pumping hundreds out every time there was a patch) and charges for it, people who want/need to buy them they can. Paying a few ú for a CD beats a weeks worth of waiting on a 56ker every time, and anyone whos ever had to use a 56ker knows that (There wasn't always BB/cable/satelite you know)

I (once again) am comming back to Eve-Online. My last build number 3896 seems to be unsupported by patches. So I am forced to download the full build...all 555.8MB...with my blazing speed of 56k modem.
Yeah I can see this comming...Get DSL...Get Cable...etc...etc...Well You all going to pay the phone company to build a new junction in my area? Or pay the cable company to run the lines to an area they dont want to?
I have talked to both of them and they refused service to my area...the breaks of being a land owner in the country side I guess.
The only option I have left is going to cost $500.00USD to BUY the equipment...But if you all want to chip in a couple of bucks here and there...I would not turn down the offer hehehehe.
So back to the subject...CCP how about it? Hire a local kid to burn some CD's for the store, what ya say?
jeebus dude just get a friend to download a burn it. I'd burn and send it but by the time I do (to the US or canada I presume) you'd have downloaded it.
5 kb/sec is about 31 hours. I cant fedex it that fast im afraid :)

you could maybe order this CD from EVE Store. I know its unpatched, and its only to Exodus, but it could save you some time. Also, when you order the CD, the CD is free. The 9.90 dollar is for package and posting. So check out this Page in EVE Store.
