  1. As a side note to this great bit of information I have found in the past that when you make your /beta copy, do it in an open area of a zone and not from inside a Guild Hall or Housing area seems to go a lot smoother.
    Just a guess also but ya may want to take along some top tier fuels if you plan on pursuing the TS line out of the gate. Fuel merchants were not close to the starting point of the last beta.

  2. Ordinarily, I’d happily test with or without reward, but I’m massively pushed for time in the next month, so there has to be a worthwhile reward for me to find the time.

    Does anyone know if any beta test rewards been announced or confirmed yet and what they are???

  3. Had no real issues installing beta. Problem came when trying to go back to regular server (Maj’dul). The launcher insists on doing a complete reinstall of the entire game (17+ GB). Any way to get around this?

    1. I have the exact same issue! I am so frustrated. I dedicated a full day to download the full verson of the beta (so no streaming would be required). I now have both full versions of the game, beta and US English. My BetaServer subfolder is 21.5GB, my EverQuest II folder is now up to 50.9GB. Why does the launcher insist on a re-full download of the US English version, which was working fine? I don’t have the time for this and I think I am being gracious by contemplating helping test the beta copy (without the aggravating, resulting lag from streaming). Any help would be much appreciated. I am an All Access paying customer for a very long time. The Launcher no longer gives me a checkbox choice of full download or stream. Is there an ini file or settings I can change to fix this issue. Thank you again.

  4. Anyone have any work around for getting in beta if the thing just won’t load at all? I’ve patched and repatched. I get a black screen that never makes it to character select. I’m on Win 10 and those DirectX files don’t even exist in my main EQ folder.

    I’ve posted about this on the Beta Forum, but no dev response yet.
