Here´s the whole story. The links to the game downloads lead to a 599MB ZIP file or 603MB (in total) split version. The intro weighs in at 27MB.
Anarchy Online is about to go live, something we are very excited about. We have so far only secured distribution in North America and the Nordic region for launch, and because of the enormous interest in the game, we have decided to make a temporary offer to customers NOT belonging to those regions.Until we are ready for launch in those areas, we will offer the option of downloading the game (bear in mind it is a very big download, and you will be responsible for obtaining the client), and purchasing a CD key, to be able to get instant access to the game when it goes live the 27th of June. With this offer, you will not receive the box, CD, or the manual, but the client will be patched to the release client and be identical to the ones on the release CDs. If you have already downloaded the beta 4 client (11.0), and still have the original client, you can use this and it will be patched up to the release version as you log on the first time. If you do not still have the original beta 4 client (11.0), you will have to download it again to be able to patch to release version.
Because of our retail commitments, this offer is only available to people based outside North America and the Nordic countries. It will also only be available until we have secured retail distribution in those areas. For those of you based in North America or Nordic countries, we encourage you to visit your local games retail store.
The offer will be priced at USD 49.99, and include one month of free game time, as will the retail version. After the initial month, the subscription will cost USD 12.95 a month. You will not be able to purchase the CD key until June 27th.
The game is downloadable here and here.
Split version here.
The intro movie is downloadable here.
DirectX 8.0 is downloadable here.

In this offer we hope to cater to all the needs of our fans, so we can create a large and diverse in-game community as fast as possible.
We thank you all for your support, hope the game will live up to your expectations, and look forward to seeing you on Rubi-Ka.
