As predicted, when I woke up this morning the download client reported download complete and I began installation before heading into work.  Gotta love Funcom, the installation message “This will take a long time” haha.  Anyway, if you haven’t already tried the auto pause/resume method using the AI Robot or some other macro tool, I …

I understand that pausing and resuming the early access download is another solution to keep the download speed up at normal levels.  This works for me when I try it this way but slows back down to a snails pace after about 5 minutes or so.  You can just pause and resume again every five …

The download has been going painfully slow since it began, sometimes getting up around 40kpbs at it’s peek but hovering in the 30′s. I was wondering why it was so slow, and my internet connection was unbearable while it was running. I have more bandwidth than that!!

This is the official retail trailer video for Age of Conan released last month. This shows a lot of the features coming including the amazing world itself and a good look at mounts.

While waiting for Age of Conan to arrive, I thought I’d delve more into my thoughts about what I thought Star Wars Galaxies should have done.  At this point, I’d be happy if it were any space MMO that could pull off some of the stuff I’m mentioning, but Star Wars would of course take …

From everything I’ve been reading, the Early Access Download to play Age of Conan before the rest of the world starts on May 17th.  But, of course there are going to be plenty of people crowding Funcom’s download servers to get the program to play early, so they are allowing people to start downloading the …
