It's only 10 gigs, but yeah it's a hefty dl.
Anyway, after going through all that and doing all this research on which server to join, I found myself forced to join a low pop freebie server. I was pretty mad, but then I thought about it and realized that I should have known. Wish they had mentioned it in the press release though. Oh well, uninstall time.
Well there's 3 hours of my life I won't get back. I guess I should consider myself lucky it was only that.
