    If we don't like something, collectively, if our hatred for it throbs like an abscess beneath every thread, does that mean that they're doing something right?

      check your plants the day before, you won't be getting back on for awhile >.>

      maybe they'll have us download chunks here and there and then just activate them with the last chunk on release day?

        That sounds a little too well thought out for SE. Just toss it all up at once and let the insanity ensue. I still think the devs just do it, then kick back after they're done with maintenance and just laugh and drink for a few hours.

          If you don't remember, they spaced out the vast majority of the update before the release of COP. I imagine the same thing will happen here.

            Nope, I 'd forgotten. Been like a year and a half. I usually choose to forget things after about a week, in order to keep things straight in my head.
            Oh well, I lose again.

                That splitting up updates to lower update time and volume was too smart an idea for SE. But, apparently they did just that for CoP.

                  I was joking >.>

                  But yeah, they did do that for CoP and hopefully remember to do it for ToA as well.

                    I might just go ahead and get the X360 version FTW! to put that system to some good use. With the very few games i have and played to death/beaten to death this will breathe new life into it till (eM)-eNCHANT-aRM comes out (which is the first RPG slated for the X360.) So far, just playing the FFXI beta, my system has stayed on overnight up to 4 tiems now, and thats just we me falling asleep while playing =p. Mithra WAR 5, Bastok - Metherlence (or similar, i think i had to change a letter or something) Name was taken from Erementar Gerad anime.
