When something new and awesome comes out like GWX 2.0, we get excited and try to find things to do while we wait. It's not that I'm impatient, it's just that I've run out of real things to do like my laundry, cleaning up around the house, doing the dishes, and cutting my own hair. So I did what every PC nerd does . . . PHOTOSHOP! So show us how excited you are. Or not . . .:D

I was so excited, I actually willingly went to school.... and.... I even showed my report to my daddy!

"Average?" he says

"I did my best daddy" says me.

"Well, you got excellent in torpedoes, and Navigating and Naval Artillery.... I suppose I can let you start a GWX career now!"

See you in 1945.... if you survive that long! Oh I love my GWX 2 xxx:lol:

She replied earlier today that the No-CD mod and removal of starforce would not effect the 2.0 install...

For any WaW players here, you'll know why I'm so anxious! :huh: . Patrol 5 just started there last Friday, and it covers the war period between SEP 40 - NOV 40. Each Patrol period is 3 months. But in "real time" it started this last Friday...and ends on DEC 24.

Since 2.0 requires a fresh install, MANY of the players that use GWX there will probably wait till the end of this cycle... (WaW is on cycle 3, and continues till 45) ...before they upgrade.

However...my system just crashed...so I'm starting out with a fresh new install...so yea!!....I can't wait!!

Got my download link at 00.14 (our local time) Work meant I was up and about at 05.00, so started to download as the coffee brewed. It took over two hours to download all the files and another 30-odd minutes to install. Then into work.

Pity me. GWX2 is sitting on my machine at home, all ready to roll and I'm at work until 21,00 this evening!

I think the words I'm grasping for rhyme with "clucking bell." :damn:

Actually, it would be "Can I have GWX 2.0."

The reason I wrote it wrong is to make a joke about "LOLCats:"

For some reason, there are lots of popular images like this where cats have bad English grammar; they are known as "lolcats."

Someone who ALREADY have the GWX 2.0... pleaaaaaase.

Start a torrent, that's really easy. Run uTorrent, press 'Create a new torrent', then 'Add GWX 2.0 files'. Then post a link to .torrent file on your blog :).

@Kpt. Lehmann and GWX2 team:

Although that was just a joke, regarding creating an 'illegal' GWX 2.0 torrent, I think the leak will happen someday before Dec 16th... It's quite hard to stop the illegal distribution of long-awaited game add-on such as GWX2 nowadays...

We are well aware of the feasability of such an action. However, we are also of the belief that the vast majority of people on this forum are honourable people, and as such would not entertain or consider such an innapropriate action.
All they would be achieving by such actions would be to bring dishonour upon themselves in the eyes of this community. :arrgh!:

Having a rough idea of the numbers involved (contributors) I believe it would require a mammoth effort to undertake such an exercise.
Any action would have to be taken by Neal as he is the only person with such detailed information.
Personally I think it's best that sleeping dogs are left to lie. :arrgh!:

I have agreed to do so, and am certain that by the time I get that done, and in the mail to him, he won't have it till the open release date anyway.

If anybody feels this is "inappropriate" ... please let me know :hmm:

We discussed this briefly last night.

While we welcome the distibution of GWX by 'Burn & Share' we must ask for some small allowances.

Please wait until the general release is, umm, released.

Under no circumstances can anyone profit or attempt to profit from the 'Burn & Share' scheme. Reimbursemnet of mailing costs is between to sender & recieving party. Maybe a copy & pass it on scheme would help.

Anyway, we want as many people as possible to get GWX and if we can help people limited on Dialup or BW limits, we welcome it.

@ Donw - I've made this statement for the general public and it's not aimed at you. Very generous of you.:up:

As I mentioned, I can't get this done till sometime late tomorrow, and in the mail by Thurs (the 13th). Figuring 2-3 days in the mail, and he'll probably be getting it the day of or after the general release date.

Just trying to help out a fellow Kaleun! :D
