I have grown a great interest in the "forgotten" Pacific War thanks to UV, I have quite a number of free hours ahead as the Euro 2004 football competition is coming to an end, I have a friend anxious to start a WitP pbem game so nothing short of an galactical catastrophe is going to stop me from trying to download the game.

Status: offline 		The download should be less than 512 MB's. As for the server breaking down, Digital River should easily be able to handle anything Matrix manages to throw at them (if what they are writing on their webpage is anything but patting themselves on the back of course....lol)

This webpage on the other hand, is a different matter. Its going fairly slow (even tho i have a 2 Mbit DSL connection at home), and its not noticeably faster here at work either (100 mbit or gigabit connection, i forget). In any case, its *awfully* fast...lol. If 500 people simultaniously try to DD through Matrix's server, that might kneel from the pressure, we'll see when DD becomes available

Well, it's a tad silly but ...

You do understand that Digital River is a company staffed by employees right? They work business hours. Very little point pounding on them outside of business hours because there is nobody home.

Status: offline 		I have lurked in the barren land of New Mexico for many cycles of the moon, with grim determination, knowing that release of this mighty wargaming saga will come soon enough. I have read the many messages on these structures you computer savvy war gamers refer to as "threads", and I say to you and all wargaming kin that these are good times indeed. Prepare youselves for a long, hard battle against a devious computerized foe, but know this, you can and will succeed.

P.S. Cheesy and overdramatic? Ja oder nein?

Status: offline 		Doesn`t the authorization code come after you have downloaded I am assuming Matrix`s
system will be overtaxed and no such code will come will your credit card still be billed as I have a suspicion that the billing and ordering functions are seperate entitie`s

Status: offline 		We are all afraid that we will swamp DR, but I strongly believe that, even if we all hit the purchase now button within the same second, we would not overwhelm DR.
Let's remember, we are only a small group of grogs, as far as this things go.
