Feldon In some fantastic news, instead of the expected 4 hour download on November 18th, we will start receiving files for the new expansion over the next few weeks.
Starting this week you may notice extra files being downloaded when you patch EverQuest II from either the Launchpad or the Station Launcher.
These files are both from our upcoming expansion and from previous expansions and adventure packs. By making these files available early we hope to make November 18th and future updates a more pleasant experience for everyone logging into EverQuest II.
After November 18th we will return to our normal patching schedule.
