i'd like one too, also because i've never EVER played an MMONG before.

(i actually intended to keep it that way, but you have to break sometime i guess.)

If you need me to find you your fist boyfriend, then I'll gladly help, just don't start kissing him whilst I'm still there.

Also, which EU server are we going to grief constructively test the boundaries of?

Second key now gone. I've never in my life played a mmong, so I may try this one out tonight. Will have to uninstall stuff though, as my 80gig windows drive is now full.

Get a another HD? With HDs so cheap there is no excuse to run out of space, I don't understand why people do. I have about 1TB of space on my PC and mini-server.

Well it's just that I've always had program installs and windows on the same partition and have no real need to change that now. There are plenty of things (old games and betas/demos) installed that I can get rid of, just never gotten round to it. However, my 300gig storage drive is nearly full too, so that's the one that'll need supplementing.

You're looking at about 10-15p per Gigabyte now when you buy a 500Gb HDD no?

pretty much, depending on stuff.

Well it's more that in my head it's easier to do a reformat etc when it's all on one drive, and I'm not sure what the deal is when programs are installed on more than one drive. Is this just silly, or should I just get a bigger HDD and install everything on a 200GB partition? This should be a new thread I guess...

Ah, Hellgate. Anyone been playing this (I cba trawling through the thread to find out)? PCG slated it this month, but I haven't had time to read the review yet. How disappointing.

Doesn't the PCG with the Hellgate review come out in like 2-3 days?

Doesn't really matter, I used to install games on a different drive letter when i ran out of space

Dunno, but it's sat on my chair at home either way. It got about 79%. Maybe they send out subscription copies early.

They do, about a week or two before they hit the shop.

Ah right. There we go then, advanced warning - Hellgate appears to be distinctly mediocre. Like I said, I haven't read the review yet but I got the impression from the editorial that it was very grindy.

works

Personally I have my main disk partitioned in two. The C: drive holds mostly just Windows and is about 20GB and the rest of the disk is D: drive and for all the applications, games, etc. I also have an entirely seperate disk (E: drive) for videos, music, etc.

This makes it easier for defragging and reducing fragmentation in the first place.

Also this. C is windows and some critical apps, other 2/3 partitions are work/shit/games.
