Patcher Woes

Let me express what many of you are feeling right now: Arrrrrrrrrgh! Let me in! Let me in! I want my Kitty! *breathe* OK. According to Sony, they are aware of the problems and are working on them, including bringing on more patching servers. Why they didn't think of this before, since this is almost identical to what happened at the original release is beyond me, but I'm sure they want you to play their game as much as you want to play it. Feel free to use this forum to try to help each other get into the game or to just console each other while you wait.

Class Action Suit
# Dec 05 2001 at 1:39 AM Rating: Default
A class action suit has been started today against Sony / Verant. If you are a player and purchased the SOL expansion and were not able to log in today, you can join the suit and possibly get reimbursed for the cost of the expansion and this month's monthly fees. All of the current 400,000 plus subscribers are invited to join.

If you are interested in joining the class-action suit, please email Andy Llora Esq. at
ofi-andy@pacbell.net. Please use the subject line "Sony / Verant Class Action Suit" in your emails. Andy is the lead attorney from Llora, Trillo and Scrotus partners LLP.

Although we all enjoy the game, the latest actions from Sony / Verant in regards to this expansion are nothing less than breach of contract. Please join us in the fight to keep these corporate giants in check.

All you attornies are alike, suit others for a little misfortune and inconvience. Whats the best you can do, win 200pp for your purchase of SoL, missing one day of playing time and force Verant/ Sony to discontinue Everquest forever? Who do you think will really come out as losers? US!!!! Thats who if they discontinue Everquest permantly.

Oh the joy of waiting 2 and a half hours to get on and find black boxes surrounding text and many other things. Then finding out my video card isn't supported and i'll probably have to buy a new one. This after spending the money on a 512meg chip. This after waiting all day to buy this game. Wow, we're having fun now.

I think we all need to storm their building and hold knives to their necks to get them to fix their ****. What do you honestly think they're doing right now? Fixing it? hell no, they're rolling around in cash like pigs in mud

Twaz the Night of the Luclin Release
and all through the world
not a patcher was working not even their own.
the gamers were parked in front of there puters with glee,
in hope that the Uber expansion would soon come to be.
but once on all they see
are the black boxes. What could they be?

looks like the patch is almost done on my side, anyone have a list of the files I should zip. I can post them on a website of mine and see if we can crash the web hosting server. HEHE (but if I can get a list of the files need I will try to get them posted and give you the address to the website or maybe morpheous or limewire.

Well this sucks. After spending all day looking forward to coming home and playing my game and hitting 44 I have to mess around with this no 3D video card error. After reading the links from the guy below i see that my V3400 TNT card isn't supported. What a pain in the ***. I wish EQ would have told me that in the first place and I would have just bought the dang card instead of speading all day trying to fix the patches. There was nothing wrong with the game before they messed with it so it better be SH after I dump this cash.

I had to put my 2 cents in after reading through everyone's post. I have been playing EQ now for 2 months. Love the game, but I have also been playing another RPG game online for the past 3 years....Ultimate Online. The only thing I have to say is, "THANK GOD THAT I DID NOT CANCEL MY UO ACCOUNT!!!!!!!" Hehe, want to try something new, and this is what's new out there....seesh. I'm just pissed I've wasted time. Adios fellow RPGers. Hope you don't suffer much longer.

I want to kill these people, I want them all to die, I want their blood to run through my fingers, that will be worth my $30.00+overnight shipping, that will be worth the fact that I sat at this ******* computer from 8 AM to midnight, yes, yes, that will serve nicely.
