1) Install the game on a connected machine, even if it's not the one you're playing with 2) Run the launcher, login with your account, and get the updates, once your game is updated (and also just before clicking "Install"), the patches will be in your hard drive... Stored in: C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Monte Cristo\Cities XL\download in windows 7 / vista, and shall be in C:\Documents and settings\\Local Settings\Application Datas\Monte Cristo\Cities XL\download in WinXP. 3) Burn your patches on a cd or any usb storage device 4) Bring the burned cd / storage device to your unconnected machine you use to play 5) Install ALL patches from the smaller version number to the lastest, take care of not forgetting one during procedure. 6) Run the launcher, try to login without connection, and click on "Offline play" when it appears 7) Have fun ( Send me one million dollars as a "Thanks" for this wonderfull tip)

@Urbangamer1: Technically, you're still under NDA, but you can speak freely about everything in demo/final release, you just can't talk about what happened on/with the beta and it's forums nor publish screenshots / vids / informations / other content from the beta/forums... That's precisely why I'm not commenting over cheuk18me94's last post in this thread (I can almost hear Nilo laughting when reading this, cuz he knows what I mean )

Originally posted by: sparky66 so the moment you activate the game and create an account your 7 day free trial automatically starts?! thats rubbish. i was going to wait a while until some content was released before using mine.quote> Unfortunatelly, yup, that's exactly the way it works, I thought we were done with "bad surprises" with cities xl, but they always find some way to enworse things... Sad, very sad... All we can do is just hope it will disgust enough potential PO subscribers for the PO to become "non-proffitable", so it would force them to rethink many unresting decisions that were made to get more ppl subscribing... As a french expression says, it would make them "se sortir les pouces du cul" Derogatory bashing removed. Please cease and desist. --Liv CXL Forums Moderator

Great, MC is continuing their "PO enforcing"... If you buy the game, you got a 7 days trial... But guess what ? You can't choose when these 7 days come ! After activating the game online and creating your account, you're informed that your 7 day free trial already started... This is just outrageous.

Paying for beta ? what a silly idea... always relayed by 3rd parties so source of troubles most of time

That codeword thing is a silly idea :/
