I am still downloading those 2 files at your site, or at least
attempt to..
It seems like there is a limiter there, as sometimes it stops me at
200k, the other day I got 600k and it says finished downloading in
d/l express.. sigh
Sorry to sound like im grumbling, but it aint right, buying ALL the
expansions (yep, I just bought Trilogy, Evolution, Velious, Luclin,
PoP, LDoN and GoD) and installed ALL of them just to be sure that I
do NOT have to patch much.. yet, after all those FULL installation
that come up to 2.7gig.. I still need to download a 76mb patch, well
150mb if you count the legends, optional zones, languages packs and
if you click on the various zones shown on the advanced tab of the
patch menu.
It just aint right, to dowload a 76mb patch, so that you can even log
on, when GoD just came out.. and still saying EQ is playable by dial-
up. I am not cursing Verant here, as I am a TRUE believer in EQ, just
saying it aint fair, see?
Yeah, I know you had to keep up with tech or you will lose out and
nobody even care.. sigh I remember when Voodo3k and GeForce Ti 4400
ruled the world! hehe friends kept saying I wasted buying such an
expensive voodoo on EQ!
Few hours later, I will be able to log into Norrath, as I took the
effort to visit a cable company and pid them to dowload the patch and
copy it to a cd so that I can transfer those to my pc. Rest assured
that the cost and time wasted alone has already exceed the sum value
of all those expansions boxes I purchased, oops I forgot the EQ Atlas
and Prima hint books I also grabbed.
Serve me right for being such loyal to EQ when I already left for 3
years.. I was intrigued by this 5th Anni trial offer to come back for
a month.. and bought all the boxes, checked websites and found the 12-
mth sub offer (WOW a bargain, and directly paid without knowing I
cant even log in yet).. I just hope I can re-learn my skills back
when im in game.. when I had lost my manastone and heard that it cost
100-300k nowadays, no matter what folks says.. manastone really is
great for a cleric and wiz, heck in fact for all caster class.
