    Please don't make fun of me
     
    I just downloaded the client or whatever for this game, 5.2 GB, took about an hour. Now, how the heck do I start up the game? There's no icon, and I can't find the thing anywhere on my computer. What is going on?

    Hmm? Does it have a FAQ or anything in the forums that says so? Is it even for Windows?

    Did you try looking in your Downloads folder? If it's not there why don't you go click on something to download and it will tell you where that file will be saved so you can find it.

    It should be in the folder where you downloaded it to. Press CTRL-J if you are using firefox and open it via there.

    @Maitre:@Bucketdeth: All I see in there is the client download, and clicking on that restarts the installation.

    Ah okay. Look at this anyway, just in case you might have missed something. I'll look around the forums a bit more for the time being.

    @natetodamax: That's weird. They don't even explain what's the difference between the two. I don't think ypu have to since the those files total up to six gigs. That plus the client you downloaded would be 11GB for just one setup file, which is absurdly big.

    @natetodamax: That would make sense. But anyway I don't think you have to download it, I think what they did was break down the game into 5 parts so it's easier to download in smaller chunks. There doesn't seem much information as far as I can see. Good luck anyway.

    @eroticfishcake: I got an email titled "Account Created!" and it says

    "Download the client, install the game on your PC and use the account information given above to start playing."
     
    So there must be something else I need to install then.

    If you can't find it in the downloads folder try doing a search for it on your computer.

    Then the client should be the installer. That is, if we can start it up somehow. What's even more strange is the fact that the American and English versions are slightly different. That's just baffling.

    Holy fuck, I found the mother fucking game. Well, the thing that installs it. It was buried with a bunch of files called ROMSetup.
     
    This game better be good.

    What I done was download the game in parts since my connection is aweful. It downloaded like 6 RAR files to my downloads folder (I use Firefox) and I just extracted the first RAR and it done the rest. I'm pretty sure the result of that was 1 file which installed the game and all was dandy. I hope that helps.
