Yes, I have a simple Dial-Up connection at my house.

For me to download 6Mb it takes an average of 32 minutes for the download to finish.

I just got done reading over 6 pages of forum chatter on the Bioware forum.
Thread Title on the Dragon Age section:
This HL2 thing SUX !!! Will Bioware do the same?

I sure hope Larian does not go the STEAM HL2 route.
Sadly it seems Bioware is going that route too.

But again, I hope and pray Larian finds another way.

It would be a huge hassle for me to have to connect to the internet via my Dial-Up to get game authentication each time I wanted to play.
Not to mention the lengthy wait time for any updates done via the STEAM method, if Larian went this route or similar.

As with Everquest I would have to return the game and never play it.
I have yet to ever play an Everquest game.

Please, Larian find another way than that of HL2 and STEAM or anything similar to it.
