I just got through playing the LAST beta event and the area downloading was HORRIBLE on 56k mine is 33k but i liek the game so much nothing could stop me... but anyways i dont think i can handle area dling so much... I mean like a new area is horrible it ses around 500 files OR more and it last around 45min witch i tihnk the retail will have all the areas alrdy on it but will the area constantly update liek it did on beta like 20 files... 2 min every time (sometimes didnt do it) or will the retail not do it AS much? or at all?
anyone know if the retail=(on shelves version) will fix this?

If it still dose, this game aint so playable on dial up...

How does the game play for you besides the loading? I have a friend who is moving and will have a slow connection and is hesitating buying the game because of the connection. I know loading will be better. But I'm concerned about lag. (we mostly play PvE)

the updated system requirements have MINIMUM of 2 GIGS of hard drive space needed

i think much of what you are taking ages to download will be in that 2 gigs
