anylace can buy or download eq through the internet.Follow

I have cable internet at 18 mbps and I am downloading eq through the patcher. It is taking forever if there is away to buy the game or download trough a browser such as internet explorer can someone please let me know. I am thinking perhaps the router might be the problem as it is an old one about 5 years so might have to upgrade to the new g/n one.

18mb/sec d/l speed is more than adequate for EQ.

For instance, my connection speed is 2 mbps d/l and 1 mbps u/l and it takes about 1-2 hours to load EQ on a new computer..And this is from the Caribbean, so the packets have to travel a longer distance.

This is using the old diskset (EQ - Titanium Edition 5 disc set from 2005 iirc) to start the process, after which the new patcher automatically overwrites the old one that was default on the discs.

I believe that if you go anywhere else to purchase the game, you will still have to activate it from the SOE-EQ patcher anyways. As they no longer sell the game from discs or "over the counter".

I have 3 computers each with different windows and browsers and they all work fine with EQ..Including one older Dell XPS600 desktop with IE8 and windows XP.

My advice would be to d/l directly from the EQ site. Maybe it is your router or switch if applicable, though mine is over 5 years old and handles the game fine.

Good luck.

I downloaded EQ just this evening on my laptop. Took about an hour to get the whole game. It was really fast. I remember doing it long ago and it would run over night and still be going.
