 My new fear for Guild Wars 2 
My new fear for Guild Wars 2

Now, I am very bored…  I'll be the first to admit it, I am bored of Guild Wars (I really want to fill my Hall of Monuments, but I can't bring myself to do it *sigh*)…  I am bored of World of warcraft, I am bored of Star Trek Online (sorry Elk) and if I could afford a second monthly fee (I'm locked into WoW to get Diablo 3 for free, probably a bad deal to be honest, but meh) I would be playing EvE Online again as the latest expansion looks fekin sweet!

 

Now there are lots of Free to Play game now and I'm slowly trying them all (and my hard drive is now groaning under the weight of them too) and the latest F2P I was planning on trying was the age old classic, Lineage 2.  Now I haven't played Lineage 2 since Feb 2008, so now its Free to Play, I figured I'd give it another go and this is where my new Guild Wars 2 fear comes in… 

 

Pando Media Booster

 

Now, if you don't know what Pando Media Booster is, heres the official blerb:

 

Pando Media Booster (PMB) enables publishers of large media such as games and videos to deliver content to users in a reliable, fast and efficient manner. Running as a secure client-side application, Pando Media Booster intelligently delivers small pieces of the media file from multiple sources; CDN servers as well as other users who consume the same content ("Peer Cloud").

 

Now, my reaction to this piece of **** software would have too many asterisks (although I don't mind swearing on the new TGH, theres a limit to even how much I can swear…) as I hate this software and so do a LOT of people as its Peer to Peer element is well known for not only working, but working too well and destroying epoples internet connections while it streams the game files from patching…

 

Now I know I'm going on here, but back to my point!  I went to install Lineage 2 this morning to give it another go and got THIS message:

NCSoft Launcher requires Pando Media Booster

 

Now as you can see in the last line of the paraghraph, "In the future, NCsoft may use Pando Media Booster on other NCsoft products for thier installations and updates."

 

Now if this includes Guild Wars 2, I won't buy it, simple as that

 

Rant over, now discuss!
