My EQ2 Impressions

I've decided i'm going to post my impressions of Everquest 2. I noticed that it was on the cheap recently (including all expansions/content which i have to admit is impressive. or sad.) and decided to just 'what the hell' and buy it outright without trying any trial. before i had even gotten into the game i was already annoyed/frustrated with the utterly abysmal launcher/downloader. i am on a pretty fast connection and im a tech head so my computer is always clean as hell inside and out and my connection speeds are always pewpew but this downloader program had taken me about a good 2 days to download very little. i then realised that seeing as the downloader was the single only way to get patches, i had no way to back them up either. i now have to backup my entire EQ2 directory (thats near 10g) just so i dont have to go through that again. and this all before i had even logged into the game once . once into the game i had to create my character. altho i was initially impressed...
