other than "script","res","lib","bin",and "bulkdata", there are 108 files including the start exe. and most of the files is like "resCharacterModularFemale.stuff" stuff, from 10MB to 250MB.
from what i see in the patch page the whole client for windows should be less than 5GB.
how come my client like this!

Hi,

The full installer is compressed and that's why it is a lot smaller than what the actual client is on disk which you are comparing it to. 10,5 GB is how big the game is currently, so there is no need to worry!

Thin yourself lucky it's only 10.5gb, i play AoC and the only way to run multiple clients is to have two copies of the game folder and run one account from each, each game folder is 35gb.
