There are two different launchers we're dealing with now. Make sure you're using the "TEST" launcher. I'm also having some problems though. They're updating it as we speak, I've noticed a few changes.

I've been working on the download for over 3omins. I keep getting stuck at different parts. Has anyone besides Silly Princess made it in yet? I'm getting really frustrated. I was planning on doing the preorder if the game looked good tonight, but at the rate I'm going, I will never find out.

I've been working on the download for 3 hours now. I get the screen with my character, it says it is downloading Rambleshakes, then it goes back to the screen where I type my password. There is starts updating at the 3 or 5 part. Updates 3, 4, and 5. I get the screen with my character and again it says it is downloading Rambleshakes, then the 3, 4,4 and 5 uploading starts all over again.

I'm ****ed.

Stephaniel,
If you open the beta version we were using till today, when you get to the page where you type your password look at the notes on the left side. Scroll down a little and you will see the links. Also, if you received your e-mail from Pirates (mine didn't arrive till about 3 hours ago), the links are there too. Then you can avoid the website alltogether.

At the rate mine is downloading, I'll be on the game sometime next week. It seems to get stuck when its updating 3 of 5, then the window closes and I can't open it again. I'm starting to get annoyed.

Thanks Dichuy... It's just that the site would not open. I finally got the download and it's shutting down at 50%. It's taking me back to the sign in screen. Very frustrating!!!

It took a LOT of time (several hours, and several start overs), but finally the game has completely loaded for me.

Good luck to those of you still trying to get in, hope you make it in soon.

Hey I wonder if it's due to too many people trying to d/l at once, maybe they need a mirror site. I used the link that came in the email and I have broadband, and I d/l'ed soon after the email came, probably before the big rush.

If you still haven't gotten in, try now or a bit later and see if the rush being over makes a difference.
