I'm sure someone would've sent you a CD via priority mail that would be there in 4-6 weeks. Which still would've been quicker than dialup.

Always is. Looks like I can have this working while I'm at work, and have it ready to play as soon as I get home. Score.

I also need a place to stay, do you have room for 2-3? XD

Re: All Worlds Maintenance and Update File Size(Mar. 10)

At the expense of sounding ignorant, why does the PS2 take so much longer to download a smaller file at the same speed as either PC or 360?

The download time is almost certainly wrong. They probably just forgot to change it after copy-pasting from a template or previous download or something. It's not the first time that's happened with these.

Re: All Worlds Maintenance and Update File Size(Mar. 10)

Let me be the first to say, for the sake of others across the globe (and just to get it out of the way): Damn you SE for doing maintenance during someone's prime time! ><

Next time, please schedule maintenance and updates for times when nobody will be playing so as to avoid interruptions for everyone. Thank you, that is all.
