DOWNLOAD OPTIONSSo. The time has come the Neocron2 beta client is available !
You are the first who get to know this, because we want you to gain a little advantage before we launch the official press and news postings. Many thanks to all who have offered mirrors to enhance the download speed for everybody.
Please use the attached file to download the client. We were able to offer several seeds for the download. But the more people offer upload bandwidth the faster the download will be for all members of the Neocron community.
Here is just a small instruction:
The beta client is being distributed over the Bit Torrent network. Bit Torrent (BT) is an open source file sharing tool without any spy ware (as opposed to e.g. Kazaa). To download the beta files, you need a BT client and a control file (.torrent, attached to this email).
Standard BT client: http://bitconjurer.org/BitTorrent/
Advanced client with more options (requires the installation of Java): http://azureus.sourceforge.net/
Bit Torrent FAQ: http://btfaq.com/
After the installation of one of the BT clients, all you need to do to download the beta client is to download the .torrent file attached to this post and double-click the file on your computer.
Tomorrow we will release a small .plan file which will give you an overview about the plans (like system tests, stress test, known bugs and development plans) during the open beta.
I hope this way we will all have a good time. See you in Neocron 2 Beyond Dome of York.
