You might want to click on the switch in the launceher before you login that says "full system check" because when I started it was only 13.7 Mb but after i did that it is at (at the time of writing this) 61.6 Mb. Just thought that I would throw that in there.

EDIT: Make sure you click it after it says launcher is up to date or you will repatch the launcher.

Maybe they're releasing it in small pieces?

For some reason, lol.

well the servers are set to admin only atm so im guessing its somethin to do with testing..

**cloudwolf**

Times like these i wish i was an admin, lol.

Oh, they might just be testing the event side of things, like the concert grounds and the such.

CR2.0 probably wasnt in the lil admin patch.

**Tseng.**

i guess so cause this was the last word on it.

Update 42, scheduled for March 28th, is going to be a very large download--and by "very large," I mean that QA estimates it will be over 500 MB of files that you are required to download in order to play.

True, very true

How do you get those nifty little smileys in there?

The Matrix Online servers will be going offline for implementation of Update 42 at 4:00AM Pacific Standard Time (1200 hours GMT) on March 28, 2006. Update 42 includes Combat Revision 2.0 and content for this weekend's Anniversary Event. Servers are expected to be offline for approximately 2 hours.

Make sure you have some Inventory space clear, as we'll be granting RSI Hack items to all players. In addition, anyone who has logged on to the External Playtest server at some point up to this weekend will be getting the first baseball cap in the Live game--with a Beta logo on it.

Also keep in mind that all character Stats will be reset tomorrow morning. Make sure you add your Stat points back in before venturing out into the Matrix!

Devs allways say approximately

As a system admin myself, I've learned a few things over the years.

1.) Always say that things will be done in double the time you actually think they'll be done. This is called "padding".

2.) If people need your task completed in half the time, it will invariably take 4 times as long to complete the work. This is "The Urgency Clause".

3.) The fix is always something simple, and you'll feel like a total idiot, but luckily come up a crafty explanation that will blow peoples minds.

No need to guess: QA is logged on doing a final check. When they say "go", we open. If they find a problem, we fix it, then we open.
