I am trying to get some work done, but keep checking this site. I am SO ready for the addon, and as far as I know it is going to be realeased today.
Am I the only one getting a bit crazy, waiting?

I am not sure if I am going to buy and download the game tonight. Not sure if the matrix server will be able to handle so many downloads, dont want to receive the game at 10kbps.

Well even if it's a 10kb/sec, it's still downloading! ;)
Nah, but I'll be sure the servers will do just fine. They did on initial release as well.

Have you ever invaded your peaceful neighbor who only wanted peace and commerce with you? Have you invaded their planets and bombed their cities? Have you destroyed their ships and killed those that serve on them? In the words of the immortal Clint Eastwood....."Deserves got nothing to do with it..."

We have all committed alien genocide. We have been weighed and measured by the interstellar courts, and found guilty!
"Tho' much is taken, much abides; and though we are not now that strength which in old days moved Earth and Heaven; that which we are, we are; One equal temper of heroic hearts, made weak by time and fate, but strong in will." -Tennyson

And now I am torn between playing and finishing my shipset...technically can do both though, since my 3D stuff is on my old machine, not my gaming rig. [:)]

Doing just that actually,War in the East is a great game. Between my WiTp-AE pbem game,War in the East pbem and tomorrow me ordering the DW expansion all my gaming time is allocated. Though Ost Front is going to be another very good game as well.
