One problem with mmorpg's is it even on a high-speed connection it takes alot of time to download the updates. One option would be distribute the game, on-demand. Or in other words instead of getting the dvd in the store, get it from the people who are selling it directly with the updates on it. Another option is where you buy the game then can play it till certain level, they can include the updates for the package you buy. So if your not 100 level mage, then you don't get the update for the 100 level mage spells.
