Don't forget to blame Paragon Studios for your boredom and file a complaint with the BBB.

Is this a free weekend, too?

My account's currently inactive while I take a break from CoH, but I might be interested in getting a quick fix if it's a free weekend

B A D · March 05, 2010, 04:56:00 PM

eez free.

This is bad. It's also report card writing weekend and I got some new music creation software delivered today.

It feels so good playing CoH again.

Apparently 30 months of patches take a while to download.

*gasps*

I'd like to check it out - one of the reasons I quit CoX, besides the repetition getting old and there being almost no endgame is because it ran a bit too slow (loading times were a royal pain and were the main problem) on my old computer. But I can't find my CoH disk, even though I know its still around here somewhere, so I can put it on this computer and my old one is in no condition to run it (no internet connection on it and one of the memory sticks went bad). Maybe next time....

You don't need the disk. Just download the client from the main website and it will download the rest.

Figured that out and am downloading it now, but its going to take over 2 hours to download, and Iam guessing that's not including all the patches. Yikes!

Reepicheep · March 07, 2010, 10:16:08 AM

I had to get the whole game downloaded and it didn't take long at all. But I went to see Alice in Wonderland while it was going.

GhostMachine · March 07, 2010, 10:35:03 AM

Yeah, the download went faster than I thought it would, and included all the patches.

I've puttered around in it some, but after playing a bit on a couple of different characters I've realized I haven't missed it all that much.

I am so tempted to give this game a try. I tried to do the free demo, but apparently, I have to have a Cedega membership to run it on Linux, but I have other reasons for getting Cedega. I am just not sure if it is worth the rush.

MJB · March 08, 2010, 07:31:04 PM

The free weekend and double XP are now over, so take your time making your decision, Tawodi.

I love the game. Before this weekend I had not truly played for 6 months and I missed it. I recommend the game but it's not for everyone. You will just have to try one of the 15 day free trials to see if it's right for you.

catwhowalksbyhimself · March 08, 2010, 10:39:13 PM

I tried one of those trials not too long ago myself. Now I'll probably need a 12 step program if I ever want to stop.

Reepicheep · March 08, 2010, 10:51:15 PM

My PB hit 50 this weekend.

But my widow didn't.

So now I've reactivated.

Sneaky, how they get you to come back.
