Hey mate,

I am a little bit unclear as to what you are trying to do.

Are you going to get a copy of Aion which they have and copy it to your PC, or are you going to download it at their house and then take it away to yours?

Cheers,

gunna go to my friends house...download it through there connection to an external hardrive....

then im gunna walk over to my house with my external hardrive....and then copy the game from my external hardrive to my PC/Hardrive..

Hey mate,

My concern is where are you downloading it from?

Have you brought the game via Digital Download or is it a torrent?

Because the answer differs depending on the two..

ohhhhhhh....

just downloading it from the hosts main website ? free download...direct from website thanks

yeah the game is going Free to play

it could work if the game did only download the whole game to a single folder (just like steam games) but if the game uses Game client and install it at the same time it could put some files in the registry
the only way to find out is to download it and see if it works

If it is an installer than you can just copy it over (with the install files).

ohhh right i see, so aslong as when i download it its an installer...i should be fine ? but some game like wow....install as downloading...

thanks guys...im pretty sure it wont be an installer though....will try soon thanks

So worries,

Most games these days have an installer which downloads install files and an installer which would mean you could put those files on a USB stick / external hard drive and simply put them on your PC.

We'll see..

This should be possible. Although I haven't dealt with this game I did do it with Area51. I downloaded and installed it, but when I had to reload my OS I put it on my external HD and then put it back on my pc. What you do is find the main game folder (C:\Program Files\Midway Entertainment\Area51) and drag it to your HD. Since it's a free game I don't think it's illegal. Just delete it from the other pc.

If there is an installer will work for sure. But if there is a folder you can have some problems.
You don't have internet at home?
