Ya know den... I'm in actually

I'll grab it tonight

[ZarnKano]

erm... link or location to get it?

[toad88]

Im on the east coast server playing as NC in game name Emryk

[DenKirson]

There is no download location (yet), you'll need the game CDs. Its some dumbass thing related to the 10-day Buddy program.

Like... I'd be playing right now, but my brother decided to lose my discs when I gave them to him.

[Yazule]

hrm... i would try it ... how much are the cd's in stores now? like 20 bucks?

[BadAsh]

I'll give'er a go once the free download is out, been meaning to try it for awhile.

[DenKirson]

It is likely not going to be in any stores now, being a three year old game.
The only place I've seen to download it is Direct2Drive in which you buy the game and download.

[DenKirson]

Oh, wait.
Some fansite has this... Looks like you install the SOE Station and you can download the entire game through it as though it were a big update. Trying it now.

Ok, I have it reinstalled, how do I get the demo account set up, can I use my old Planetside account or will I have to set up a new one?

[DenKirson]

New one, paying players cannot 'revert' to FodderSide.

And as for the installer, no go. There's going to be an official Demo for Planetside released sometime today, the only way to get in as a Reserve or so it would seem.

[Archangelus]

Yeah, I found an installer that put the game on my system, but it does me no good as there isn't a way to sign up for Reserves at this point.

Here it is though, just in case someone cares.....

I might be able to play Planetside back home, so I may give it a try.

[toad88]

I can get 10 10 day free trial keys to anyone with the game I have 2 already send me a pm if you want one.

[DenKirson]

Hell... I just remembered that two months ago, I was able to give myself a 10-day trial key, and found it in my Hotmail. I'm currently downloading the whole client and updates through SOE. I'll be able to play for ten days as the thing says, I wonder if the Fodder will run right through it.
