I can see the logic of having separate patch and game servers, but that doesn't make a damn difference if no-one can get in game as the patch server isn't up to the job.
Kind've agree with you. A lot of games, even free to play ones, have their initial installer, which often uses Pando Media Booster, and then torrent their patches through their client. It's handy.
Especially games that consistently change quite frequently in terms of upgrades / areas / etc.
Work on a torrent patcher.. or work on getting rid of the memory leaks on the server so that the game is playable, sorting out exploits, making sure the starting player population has what it needs to even get started with basic crafting and land..
Choices choices!
The best part is we'll probably have to download this all again because there were space in an item name that has caused the database to destroy itself.
