A couple requests regarding patch downloads

[Moonleg]

Oh please make this happen!

I started downloading the patch around 7 am this morning, CET.

There's a FC meeting tonight at 9 pm CET. I will -barely- be able to download and install the patch in time thanks to a craptastic internet connection. Basically I was cut off from playing yesterday due to maintenance, and all of today thanks to patch download.

I mean, by the time you take the servers down to patch them, the client patch MUST be ready, right? RIGHT?! If you're putting the finishing touches on it during maintenance you ARE DOING IT WRONG. Please just ... leave it available to us to download and install ahead of time like pretty much all other MMOs do, rather than letting those with fiber connections get a headstart on everyone else for things such as buying a house plot JUST because they can download faster than others. While the money for such connections don't go to Square-Enix, it is kinda pay-to-win. ;-)

It was the same when I bought the game a few months ago. I had to pay and ACTIVATE my free starting month before I could start downloading. Then the download took four days of non-stop maxing out my connection, preventing me from doing anything ELSE fun on the internet in the meantime. I know, craptastic connection is my problem and not S-E's, but still - think of the players stuck with bad connections when making decisions, please.

I'd love to see how Titan Ex feels about that connection O_O
