VERY UNHAPPY new client

[Properman]

<p>Ok, this is getting to be too much. First I cant play for most of the day yesterday because of the server being down for 11 hours, now I cant play because the streaming client wants to download over 1300 megs of iformation.  I dont have the fastest internet which is why Im using the straming version.  Im using windows xp ro, others are having this same problem using different versions of windows. If this is going to be a pattern on how this game is fixed Im going to find some other way to spend my money. Lotsa games out there!!!</p>

<p>I complain as much as anyone when things go bad, but you've had bad luck, just happening to join right before an unexpected outage. These aren't at all common; the last one we had on AB like this was many months ago. I'd advise sticking with it; the initial download is generally the most frustrating part of playing. Also, rather than using the streaming client, I'd recommend leaving your client on while you're away to download everything, so you don't have to put with waiting for long downloads again until there's another major update.</p>

<p>I have to agree with Elsa the streaming client sucks for getting in groups the first time you hit a zone. I personally would like the see a download all option in it to allow the USER to pick what they would like to do.</p>
