I agree. I mentioned this in another thread yesterday (and was promptly misunderstood, I think...by at least Elexia). Then I was torn between being selfish and wanting to be completely ready when Beta goes live, and what a valuable test it could provide if everyone was downloading at the same time. I disagree that everyone will DL at the same time if it's available a week in advance - people might try, but they will wait til later if there is congestion (knowing they can't play anyway). Different time zones will also play a part.

I recently upgraded to RR Lightning, but for you Starlord, and others with limited connection speeds, I do hope they get it out early. Doesn't matter tho, they're gunna do what they're gunna do! I don't know how Alpha was handled in the first wave. Was the Alpha client available to DL prior to going live?
