I searched around in some threads and some said that if you buy C2 you wont have to download as many maps or something but maybe this was just for the special events..which one comes with this? The expansion or the collectors edition?

And btw, my computer is a Amd 3100+, 512RAM, and a 9600 card, do you think i could run it on high?

Thanks.

there is no expansion.

chapter 2 is a full stand alone game you can merge with chapter 1 .

when you buy the retail game everything is on the cds except for updates made since then which you download once.

EDIT

chapter 2 will have both regular and CE editions

the higher priced ones will have extra content you may not want or use or you might love

EDIT

if you want chapter 1 to build on it is the cheap one and chapter 2 will be labled FACTIONS

After you install eveything, the downloads should take about 2-3hours. I also have a 56k, but only with a Radeon 9200, and it runs pretty smoothly and hardly ever lags.. I've also found that for some reason, I usualy zone faster than people who play on a highspeed conection. The only downfall I've found, is that it takes longer to download and updates.

Sorry to interrupt:

I almost always go for the most basic, standard game package. Collector Edition may offer extra code(s) in unlocking skills and weapon and armor, but I believe you can obtain the same while in game.

Ok ill just get the normal one then..so about 3-4 hours of downloading patches/updates after i install the game, no downloading each of these map things people were talking about in another thread..

What is the "Devine Aura"? Is that one that related to your emote?
