I am completely new to Anet and their games and customer support and all that jazz. In other words, I don't know how things work with them.
I did not get anything but a code with my pre-purchase, and I used that code to register my account (yay, it was so smooth!) and got an e-mail confirming it. However I'd like to know if anyone's had any experience downloading games from Anet before? They said in the mail that "The game client will be available shortly; we will send you an e-mail with a download link.". Did they mean shortly as in NOW shortly, or shortly as in soonish but before release? How smooth is it to download from them and what size should I expect the file to be? And will there be any downloading required for the beta weekend? If so then I'mma make preparations with my network and all that.
