Please, no negative posts here. If you don't like the game, that's perfectly fine, but we don't need to know about it.

Let's let people make their own decisions based upon their own perceptions?

I sincerely appreciate your cooperation in this :)

ROFL, I am playing Guild wars right now. But yeah, I'll play it, if it works with my connection. Tried twice to DL it , but the downloader has no pause, so If I stop it, I have to start all over. Bit of a pain.

But yeah man, I've been playing GW for a looong time now. Yeah, back in Beta it worked fine, then when it went live, there was no hope at all for me. As for GW, been striving to kill that dang Destroyer critter in Eye the last few days. Still have the SFC guild also, although I think I'm the only one in it.

I didn't know that about GW anyway there is pause in the downloder for STO as I used it.It will sit on oyur desktop just click it to resume.

I might be able to help you out with that mission it would go faster if we got Mani on it.

Thanks guys, but I Finally did get it done. It's always about finding the right balance of mercenaries lol.  Right now i'm working on the GW Beyond stuff, and getting my titles maxed. I may take you both up soon as I've been wanting to tackle the Underworld sometime.

Man if  anyone has a link to the downloader for STO, that has a pause, I would love it. The one I have wants to DL like 4 gig all at once, and just restarts if you stop for any reason.

I don't know if it pauses but have you tried the one on FilePlanet? It isn't so much a single 4 gig download, it is a few megs download and then spends three times the download time to install it and then doing that again and again. Even on my 12 Mb DSL I often find it easier to just find something else to do like going to bed while things download.
I am alright, it is the world that is wrong.

Be very careful about getting STO from different sites.
If at all possible, I would highly recommend using the Cryptic site.
And If anyone has questions or need a little help, feel free to look me up in game.
You can buddy me up at KBFLordKrueg@KBFLordKrueg.
But tell me who you are, blind friend request I usually ignore unless it is a real familiar name.

I may try the one from File Planet, See Krueg, I did grab the one from Cryptic, and that's the one that won't let me pause at all. I just thought of something, my old fleet mates from the 9th used to host the file back when the game started. I might be able to grab that, and just update.

Anyways, thanks all for the suggestions, and I'll be sure to look you up when I get in.
