I recently recruited around five people to come back to the game, yesterday infact. I told them of the event where they'd get to see the improvements without having to pay for the month, hoping at lest a couple would stay. But now it turns out they're taking over a day to patch an old copy of the game, going at outrageously slow speed. This is making me, and this company, look very bad. Now May 3rd is a day closer, and two of my friends are *still* patching the game, going on over 25 hours. This is entirely unacceptable, and what should have been a great experience turned out to collapse under the probably entirely unanticipated volumes of interest. I do not blame the developers, the load seems to be truly unexpected. However, this may 3rd cutoff is now starting to seem unreasonable. Is there any way i can get it extended for the people who have been trying hard to come play, but cant because the patch server wont go over 25 kb/s for them? it doesnt seem fair.
