I was in two of the beta weekends, so I have the beta client downloaded.

I have pre-ordered the game, so I will have early access.

Am I going to need to download a different client for the release, or will the beta

client patch itself up to the release client?

Client will update into the full game.

I already had a 11GB update this morning

Good to know, thanks.

Question is if the 64bit will make an appearance at launch, then we would have to DL again.

I read one does not have to re download the 64 bit

because it is only the exe. file that gets updated and executes the data into 64 bit format (rough idea)

I pre-ordered & I'm just curious if we will be able to download the game before the early release date arives? Or they gunna open up the servers and make us download when we could actually be playing. Seems kinda lame if they gunna make us wait to download the game on early release date cuz then technicaly you will not get 5 days early game play! Can you imagine how slow the downlaod will be with everybody downloading at the same time?

You can update today. They will keep on updating through the week until release so check the launcher before launch. Probably day one update too.

It will just be the executable that's 64bit. Not a huge download.

kk, so the beta copy is cool to download and they will just reqiure an update to play on pre-release day or a little bit before?
