Hi everyone, if I get the disc for SWTOR does it in any war decrease the download? If so by how much

Thanks :D

Doesn't really anymore. There have been so many changes.

I logged on for the first time in about a year the other day, and the update was quick - but I do have a fast connection.

I prefer having the physical disk anyway, at least for new games. If it's on Steam (like KOTOR or Dark Forces II) then I don't bother, but to save on my bandwidth I find it useful.

Installing WoW from disks on my wife's laptop, on the other hand...  :o

Wait what? The game is only a 23GB install now, that is with the ROTHC expansion and all the addons

Yeah but even that will take days, my average download speed is about 50kbs

Yup...quality isn't it lol
The original download contained a whole host of things that are no longer needed...uopdates have disabled them but not uninstalled them.
