Hmm, nobody posted the topic yet.
Just loaded the official AoW2 site, and the demo is here!
It's on Fileplanet.

Getting doubts now, am I really the first to post this or are you guys all just downloading while I'm typing this?

AHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAHAHAH :Evil:

I've been downloading this game for 5 minutes now!! A foolish mistake, to tell others of the game, now the download will take several seconds longer.
For this, I may have to turn you into something unpleasant

nah, just kidding I just saw it myself!

26 minutes before it starts. Well better than nothing, after so many years of waiting. A first glimpse of THE GAME.

I don't care about the bugs etc. I just want to see it in action. I will of course report anything I find so the beta name in the demo makes use .

Thank Thor for this forum. I still havent recieved any email about the demo. I feel sorry for those poor fellows that relies on email .

All the better for bandwidth. Why btw does all of the FP sites have to be in California? It doesn't really make sense. At least one EU server would have been cool

In line and waiting for the download to start.

Being in LA you'll probably get your demo faster than me, even if mine starts in 7 min.

Euro servers: The server selection is based on who has the file... No euro servers have the file yet, so they can't offer it.

Not logged in: sounds like a cookie problem, or browser incompatibility...

As for people who don't like Fileplanet: Deal with it, pink boy.

Thanks Josh! It was a cockie problem.
And allright I like fileplanet, as long as it works.
BTW has the dev insulted me and I didnīt get it?

I think I let the computer of my brother run this night for downloading...

posted 04-17-02 05:07 PM EDT (US)     19 / 52  
No you don't, 0 minutes waiting time and 200 hours download time. I get 54kB/s from LA. New Zeelanders can only dream about that. Well unless you are one of the lucky few with ADSL but it's much more expensive there than here.

Nice thing to imagine how many of the AoW hardcore fans/forumers (besides those other hundreds of guys blocking fileplanet right now) having emotional highs right now (well, except poor Magog )
Feels a bit like X-mas + Birthday

BTW Estimated time until you download starts: 2 min

Christmas just moved to 17th of April here in Sweden .

Well it's Little Christmas, Big Christmas will be May sometime when the Big AOW2 comes out. I will start riots if the shops dont have it when the release is due.

Sometimes the shops have open at nights when really big games are released (like with Diablo2), i've never been that desperate before but with AOW2 I would.

Which is nearer to germany L.A. or Irvine ?

And...Touchdown.

Lucky me if the game doesn't install or crashes immediatelly. Hell no, it's made in Delphi. No Delphi prog crashes on my computer.

I swore I would never use fileplanet again after many problems in the past but it looks like my need for a `fix` of AoW2 drove me back there.

85% done 4 mins left

*disconnect* aaaaaaaargggggghh !!!!!

It's made in Delphi??? Are you sure? Delphi? That seems an odd choice for game making?

Download complete!

Wow, that was probably the longest stretch of solitaire I've ever played on the computer, waiting for the download. I'll just play "a few turns", and then I'm off to bed.

Nite all, lookin forward to the huge influx of posts tomorrow.

Well well well, this is my first experience with fileplanet.... and OMG it sucks!!
One have to wait 33 minutes just to start the download??? Not to mention that one need to make a stupid account first....
I really hope that Triumph didn't had other options than using that stupid place because I can't believe they are using it because they like it....

Hmmm 20 minuts left to start of download now...

posted 04-17-02 05:33 PM EDT (US)     31 / 52  
I am waiting in line. 7 more minutes until I get my chance. Sorry to hear GameSpy knocked you back Eriksson. Lowsy Game Spy. Don't they know that there are "important" people downloading an "important" program right now?

Holy guacamoli!! (sp?)

I'm 317 in 337....fudge, why'd they choose fileplanet?

I think it is because of bandwith issues that Triumph has Game Spy host the demo.

hahaha... how bout you let us north americans go first, since we will get the most time to play it.
posted 04-17-02 05:40 PM EDT (US)     36 / 52  
Damn fileplanet...lol. I am on a T1 connection so the actual download won't be an issue. But this waiting....hehe

Couldn't they have put it out this morning...hehe. That way I could have started the waiting process and gone to class to come back to wonderful wonderful AoW bliss...lol

15 mins left to wait....lol

posted 04-17-02 05:42 PM EDT (US)     37 / 52  
Yes it's made in Delphi. Like AOW was. Best development tool in this Galaxy. I'm no game programmer but the regular software I do runs smoothly enough.

Btw to all you guys who wait. Trust me, it's worth every single minute of waiting. Sure it may have some bugs(which I havent seen yet) but the game, it's stunning. It kicks HOMM:s and Disciples both butt:s to kingdom come.

A bit more resource heavy than AOW but that was expected. Luckily i get my new P4 1.8 next month.

P4 1.3 here..heh...definitely glad I picked up a new comp. =)

Ah...the stories that will come from this demo alone. I need to get over to LeagueAow and see if the word has spread.

*continues hating File Planet*

28 minutes before I can start the download. *hugs his T3 through the dorm* at least it won't take long once I get to the front of the line...
