Ugh, so I was on the fence about this, as I didn't want to get sucked into another MMO - but when I picked up my Halo LE edition the price dropped - so put the difference on a deposit for the CE :P

Now just tell me what server you guys will be on lol

Haha, only a few days left!

So you thought that the Official Game client was going to be 15GB did you? HA! Try 22 GB according to Square-Enix.

"Dear Customer,

Thank you for contacting the Square Enix Support Centre.

I understand your problem and can relate to the issue of the fair-usage policy being broken. However I'm afraid to say the final version of the game will be using a peer-to-peer system identical to the one in the Beta. The main game will ship on a disc so it won't be necessary to download the initial 22GB (approx.) client. That said, patches which could be large will be distributed this way so although they will be smaller and less frequent they may still take you over the fair-usage limit. I'm sorry about this and there are no plans to allow users to adjust their upload and download rates but we have made our head-office aware that this is causing problems for people and may be fixed in future.

Again I hope you aren't too put off by this and I hope the patches will be small enough and infrequent enough not to break your limit.

Warm Regards,
Square Enix Support Centre Team

That's kind of weird to me, but I guess anyone who has a problem will just dl patches manually. Not really a big deal in the long run. Still, why are they doing it this way? To save money? No biggie, just curious.
