RogCamp Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 I bought Open LC NA in May of this year. I know I am way too late for the deal you had!!! What I want to know is What happens now when I purchase Open LC NA. I know I will have to pay full price,but when I download it, I take it I will be downloading only Part 2, right? Then I would install part 2 as an update to Part 1 that I already have installed Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Dow Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 if you search for other threads on this you will see there is a time after release in which you can get the second part at a discount... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dansandiego Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 From what I understand you'll get the discount for the rest of NA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DesertPilot Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 Here's the post by John Venema with the discount details. As I understand it, we (those of us who already have openLC Canada/Alaska) will get a AU$22.50 discount on the full openLC NA, valid only for the first month after release. I believe that means AU$22.50 off AU$54.95, for a final price of AU$32.45. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Clarke Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 I anticipate that hardly any current owners of OLC AK/Can are going to wait until day 29 of the discount offer do you? I think there is going to be a tsunami of demand within the first few hours. I do really hope that the Servers have had plenty of vitamins and Stamina drinks!

RogCamp Posted July 28, 2016 Author Share Posted July 28, 2016 You Guys talk as if the deal is still in effect! I just tried to buy it and it gave me a message that I had already bought it and was charging me full price. I still need an answer on what happens when you already have part 1 installed? Do you just get part 2 or the whole thing? Do you have to uninstall part 1? I need a reply before I buy it so I know what is going on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure at some point, once you can buy it it will come along with instructions how to install if you have LC Alaska/Canada installed already. For the moment we have to be patient until it is released which is expected in the near future... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogCamp Posted July 28, 2016 Author Share Posted July 28, 2016 I really do not understand what is going on. When I bought it (Part 1) on May 30th it was 13.95 now it is 54.95. Does that not mean it is now released? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turboarrow4 Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 No, that only mean that you took advance of the may sales. you may follow the release announcement subforum, there you will be informed about new products released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogCamp Posted July 28, 2016 Author Share Posted July 28, 2016 From June 15th 2016 openLC EU and openLC NA will increase in price to AU$54.95. This means the 'sweet spot' to complete your openLC NA complete package is between now and 1st June when you spend $13.95 to get a $22.50 savings on $44.95, then buy the second part (openLC NA complete) before June 15th. I think I got it now!!! But The statement above by John Venema makes the whole thing hard to understand. The last part says (then buy the second part (openLC NA complete) before June 15th.) when you read that and see that the price is now 54.95 it is pretty easy to assume that it is already released.

Thank You very much for your help I think John's statement (on May 6th) was based on the possibility of openLC NA complete being released before June 15th. That didn't happen, and we're still waiting for openLC NA complete to be released after final testing is completed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Venema Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 Release is imminent, you will have to download the entire NA package ( ~13GB) again and install over the top of openLC NA AK/Canada (if you have it). When you purchase you'll get AU$22.50 discount at the FSS checkout if you already purchased AK/Canada. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

st1300rider Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 Regarding the servers for N.America/open LC:.....No Bueno....and it really sucks!!! not to be able to down load at time of purchase. I guess there was a lack in judgment in not to initiate the 7 p's. Proper Prior Planning Prevents Piss Poor Performance. #FSS0504591 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess there was a lack in judgment in not to initiate the 7 p's. Proper Prior Planning Prevents Piss Poor Performance. #FSS0504591 I'm not sure any amount of prior planning can really cope with a release this large, and this popular. An entirely new E-Commerce system, with new cloud servers IS in the works, but not ready yet. Can you imagine the outcry if ORBX announced: "The new OpenLC is fully complete, but we are going to hold off on the release until Autumn, when our new servers are ready..." THAT would go over well (NOT)! We have all waited this long - a day or two more isn't going to kill anyone. It should get better once the initial furor dies down a bit One suggestion: Do not try to initiate the same download from multiple servers simultaneously just to "see which one is fastest." That sort of thing only makes things worse for everyone. Questo messaggio c'est envoyé von meinem iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I queued up my d/l manager, I noticed that the size had to include all of NA. So just by installing the new package overtop of the old, everything is updated and new. Speaking of which, were there updates to the first half included with this new package? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Venema Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 Yes there were updates included for the top half, including the enhanced 3D lighting for major cities. Check out Vancouver or Toronto at dusk to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
