You can only update from the game itself - no alternbate sites for update so there is no trick there. As far as what you will need to update, since each successive update is consoludated into the build, you will only need the current build and that download is automated. your forst update could be several hours on a dialup connection. You might want to either do it late at night or even while you're sleeping!

One thing that will save you time is loading the basic game from CD/DVD and only downloading the update itself, but if you intend to DL the whole program the point is moot! If you do intend to DL the entire deal expect 10+ hours with your connection.

Not sure if the retail version also comes with all recent patch updates, but most folks have been reporting a significant download when first installing.

One thing to reduce the amount of download is under the login screen under Download Options. You can uncheck "optional content", which is almost a 1G of NPC voice-overs.

That should save you some time, andmake those pesky NPC's a little quieter. You can always go back and select it for download when you are ready.

Deynos, when you start the game and create your character, you'll be given a choice of servers. Consider Najena, as we have a bustling population, stable economy, guilds of all levels, and folks in almost every zone.

When you get there, look me up. I can help you get started with some directions, advice, upgrades, and coin. Type /who all foundation to see who is on.

See you there!

By the way, Qeynos spelled backwards is Sony EQ. So Deynos spelled backward would be...Sonyed. Like, "I've been Sonyed!"...? :)

sorry to bust in on your thread...but I have a question too, can you have characters on more than one server?
