How does it feel knowing you bought a piece of paper with some words on it for $40 dollars?

Isn't that what houses and cars are? pieces of paper with words on them? XD

So how, exactly, do you drive FFXIV to work?

That wasn't my point. All car ownership is, is the deed itself, same with a house. Same with the code for XIV.

You're thinking of diplomas.

[Kinkoz]

You're thinking of diplomas.

I think they're thinking of titles and contracts. You know, written proof of ownership and responsibility.

Ouch, and I thought my 1 mb down <150 kb/s up was bad :s (Despite paying for 16-20 down 8 up but hey...)

[Ayrie]

So some quick math:

65k (your low end, reported) / 1024 = 0.006347... MB/s

Times 60 = 3.8 MB/minute

Times 60 = 228.5 MB/hour

Times 24 = 5484.375 MB/day

Divide by 1024 to get that in GB = 5.3558... GB/day

So it would take you just over a day to do the Stormblood download, unless your numbers were exaggerated, or you are really getting only 20KBps, at which point the game would literally be unplayable.

I smell exaggeration.

Sorry but 65 or 70 KB/sec was the best I can get. My internet completely shuts down on a daily basis at around 7:30 to 8:00am my time. it might come back in 15 minutes, or it might be four hours. And when it does, it usually has download speeds of around 10KB/sec until the evening when it fixes itself. And I normally play from 3:30am to whenever my internet messes up since I work early mornings. Yes I got the stormblood downloaded, but that is not the point. Buying the physical copy should do more than tell you to download the game. Also, something I did not mention before, when I tried to install Stormblood from the disk, I got an error message saying I needed to install the base game. So they failed there too.

Plus take into account that if a download fails, It restarts at the beginning, so more lost time.


And yes you smell.

No, it does not.
