Today's update: Is this correct? - Guild Wars Forums

Tachyon · Mar 03, 2006, 09:21 PM // 21:21

Tonight I fired up Guild Wars as usual and it updated with the 02/03/06 update. Yet when it got to the log-in screen that little lightning flash in the top-right corner started downloading. Ok I thought, I'll leave it and grab a coffee thinking that it'd be finished by the time I got back.

Well, when I returned it was upto 130MB and still climbing. Is that right?

Yea, everyone had that. I had up to 40MB i think...

yep, streaming technology

Ah, that's OK then. I thought my installation may have been somehow borked. It's at times like these that I'm glad to have a fast connection.

It's just never been that big a download before!

I left it on the character load screen and it downgrabbed over 200+ mb before it stopped streaming.

My guess is its pre-loading the chapter 2 content for the preview on march 24, this way there will be less of a rush where a million people download the update in the day coming to march 24.
