So now that the mails have arrived for my friends, they seem to be one big huddle of broken links..
The download link is: http://.apb.com/downloads/-installerMS which is obviously a broken link, it lacks all the area codes, the correct link is http://eu.apb.com/downloads/eu-installerMS
The account creation link is: https://.realtimeworlds.com/account/create/account. Here you also have to add area localisation also, making the correct link: https://eu.realtimeworlds.com/account/create/account.
