Just bought the game!

[Skaggy]

So yeah, I've just bought the game, wanting a change from the other games I play which tend to be frantic FPS's such as BF2, TF2 and CS:S.

So what can I expect? Any hints or tips on getting started?

Also, patches. I assume I need to download all the incremental patches and install them in order? I can't find a full patch anywhere..

Is anyone home?

wOOt 900th post.

What did you buy.. OF? Or both?

Yes, there are a lot of patches.

[Skaggy]

Just the basic version.

You still have quite a bit of patching to do.
Depends really, if you want to play with the people who have the expansion, you have a massive 2GB patch ahead of you.

Otherwise, it would be around 1GB worth of patches for the basic game.

It has an auto-update, so its quite handy.
