Originally posted by Agricola1 All that being said I must admit the ER forums have been almost totaly devoid of muppets, though I suspect this will change after launch and people need a place to bitch about the evil Masthead and how they stole their money ect... I hope this doesn't happen but hey I'd rather not get involved with the circle of hate anymore.
The official forums will get wiped on release and replaced by a new forum, which will be set to read only for non-subscribers... jfyi.
lol @ everyone coming out the wood-work, where are you guys when the discussions are going on around here and the official boards?
So we are not worthy. Thats pretty self righteous is it not?
For the record, Ive been on ER beta application for almost a year,
and I have been discussing it on here.. Sorry if I am not as "involved" as you. Or that maybe I dont live up to your expectations of someone who deserves to play ER.
Never said you weren't worthy, you're all entitled to try it before you buy it, just here i was thinking ER had such a tiny following and threads barely reaching the 2nd page here and on the official boards, then someone posts a 'key giveaway thread' and suddenly its 3 pages long within 20 minutes lol.
Well some people like my self f.x i dont post alot unless i really have to, i read alot , but post rarely, its like i don't get theese people who have several 1000 posts on a game that havent gotten into beta yet, but they just sit there all day and post random shit without knowing jackshit about the game it self.
Lol, first key it gave a captcha error and couldn't use the same key anymore, got another key. Let me enter all my info but gave a user creation error or something similar at the end and again the code couldn't be used again.
I hope the game works better than the key page ;-)
With any luck some folks reading this might be kind enough to seed the client so this is less painful. Either way it will finish some time or another I suppose.
If mine gets done anytime soon i will be seeding from a 35/35
Client is slow going but it will get there. Will be seeding. Been waiting on this game for friking ages. Fresh from bashing bugs in Rifts I will now be bashing bugs in Earthrise. Am I a hero?.........maybe.;)
Well I'm downloading now and will probably get to play next week, thanks again to the OP.
"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience"
It seems that the posters above me that missed out obviously have a life and shouldn't expect to grab a beta key in this fashion until they've become true hardcore gamers and have set up in their mothers basement.

0 seeders..? a download speed of 1.2kbps..? OMG when ER is released I'll have it on my system with this speed :'(
After about 30 mins it sped up, I'm on 150kb/s and might be playing tomorrow with any luck

This link to previous version but you can patch after downloading this. Getting over 1meg a sec with this vs the 50-100kb/s from before. Looking like about 45 minutes to completetion.

A lot better, THANKS! Starting with 250kbps. This one will take about 4 hours for me to get. Now hope the patch won't take forever ;-)

U have to seed other stuff to boost ur upload speed, then u will notice an increase in download speed. thats how torrents work.
If u give alot, u will get alot.
