In fact, the laucher is not updating the game, it is downloading the whole game. I got the trial today, and I noticed the install file has only 80MB, but the launcher downloaded over 4GB. It took a lot of time to download, course, 4GB... but at a good speed, 400Kbps (my connection cap.).

I also enjoyed the graphics, way better than LOTRO, for example.

 

Whoa, wait a min. Better than LOTRO? Hmmmm, I have to say that that must be a difference in opinion as I find the graphics in LOTRO better than EQ II. Or at least the world itself.

The EQII world is so bland to me.

 

I really enjoyed the shadow knight class though.

Yeah, ur right. I just played for a few minutes with Fae, and the chars look better (mainly geometry) in EQ2, but the world is way better in LOTRO.

It took me 47 hours to download all the patches on 56kb/s connection, so to see someone complaining about 4 hours makes me laugh.

to OP

what do you want?  Why are you even posting this? 4 hours to download the trial?  Not interested in some F2P soe games? Good. I have never played cosmic rift or infantry online.  No one forces you to.

So... do you want an official SOE apologee for too long download? Or maybe 4 extra hours of free trial ?

Some people could complain about anything they see.

Hey, it's a broadband world where I live. I was just surprised at the fact I had to download so much more than the original installer. Why wasn't the installer bigger? And I see EQ2 has lots of add-on packs which explains that part.

I went off on a tangent with SOE's poor online presence, with the shitty online casual games. This baffled me. Like I said, Sony is a huge name. Why no one has bothered to improve their online presence is weird. Yes, they have SWG and EQ2, but all I hear are complaints about SWG and SOE's policies.

No one is twisting my arm, true.

47 hours downloading? Yikes! Hope it was worth it.

As for the game it's pretty good, but I've already lost interest. Tired of "Whack rats with sticks" games.

Why do I even bother posting... all I get is "Poor baby" and "screw you", you people need to take chill pills, seriously, why all the hostility...

Someone delete this thread please

56kb/s is broadband, half a meg :x

the trial sucks and this why

like the 1st thread it took ages to download i too have a fast connection

i said okay no problem let it run overnight

u have to make a fae character and then u can make other characters- okay with that

With a 14 day trial u r stuck on the newbie island

u cannot get off it unless u buy the game

The whole island u can complete within 2 days max.

Also u dont get the feel of the game on just the island

they should have allowed a  few more areas to explore , let me see more things , let me see people houses , cities,outposts, let me participate in pvp  tempt me no

on the noob - newbie island u will see perhaps a few souls in the whole day and none of them want to pvp

so I keep going on a suicide mission attacking lvl 20+ npc guards

atleast swg and POTBS had better beta in terms of content offering

Now what should i do with 5 gb downloaded content and only the newbie island to explore with 10 days to spare

Delete it off of your hard drive.

You are absolutely correct. It seems that EQ2 does not offer you the manner of interaction with others that you desire. You've opened many eyes here with your comments. The trial sucks. The game sucks. SOE sucks, and their feet smell bad, too.

We who do play the game will surely miss not having you there, but we understand that at this point there is nothing we could say to change your mind about EQ2. It's just not the game for you. We'll try to live with that.

I hope you find a game more to your liking. Good luck and God speed.

Nothing to see here. Move along, now.

well i feel i need to correct myself

so with very much dissapointed with my intial characters on noob island i decided what the hell lets play the fae and see

Now this was a completely different experience ,The trial was meant to be played as a fae i guess

I got to experience most of the stuff that i could not in m intial quoted post

I personally liked it and got addicted

It would have been good if all characters would have been opened

this way people wont skip the fae wherin all the trial fun is
