Just hope they send the client like a week before it goes live...

For the People ( like myself) have not so good connection speed ( I see 300kb at max for me) with 7GB to Download.. needs a lot of time to get ready.

I believe this would be counter productive, and SE would lose a valuable load test.

EDIT: it also gives bored people a week to hack the DAT files.

interesting point, I also have a limited connection

How does SE handle this in the previous beta?

Or they would lose a lot of valuable testing time waiting for people with slow connection speeds to download the game. If they release the client early, everyone will still download it all at once I'm very sure of this. It won't make much difference to do it now, or to do it then. What difference would it make to do it on Feb. 7th than on Feb.14th (guess Beta Launch). People will still Download it all at once.

I'm sure the client will be available beforehand, but I can also almost guarantee that on release the client will get an update anyways.

I agree with this, but 300 kB? Are you from 1996?

When you have 4 people in the house eating your connection speed, Yes I must be @.@

This is a good time to have a buddy or a relative with a good internet connection. I have slow DSL at my house, so I pack my computer and go to my parents house when I need to DL a lot. Well into my 20's, but no shame in my game :p

I agree with OP.

Being allowed to download a big chunk of the client early would be nice. SE could then release a patch once it's live for any changes.

WARNING: Dat mining ahead.
