Fuck Legends of Norrath

Karel · 12-19-2007, 07:31 PM

Exactly five hours ago, I logged in to check broker. No problems. I try to log in now and I'm stuck on a 20+ minutes download of Legends of Norrath bullshit.

Seriously...if people want to play that piece of shit be my guest but for fuck's sake, make a different client for it. Having to download this crap at prime time is retarded and given I've been logged in not too long ago and didn't have any downloads it's, apparently, also arbitrary.

SoE, fuck you for implementing LoN on the same client as Everquest 2; LoN consumer base, please fist yourselves with a handgrenade for playing this crap~.

I saw Fuck Legends in the thread title and thought I'd be reading some randy smut. Have to say I'm disappointed.

you should quit

OP is absolutely fucking right, and this is coming from someone with over 4,000 cards. It's completely fucking retarded that LoN is THIS integrated into EQ2.

There should definitely be an option like other download options, so if you don't want LON shit, you can avoid having to download it.

20+ mins to download a LoN update...

I don't think I want to know how long it takes you to download the LUs.

Kyrsten · 12-19-2007, 08:07 PM

I play on a 5Mbps line and I've still spent 10+ minutes downloading LON updates.

Regardless of the connection speed, the point is that LON is entirely way too integrated into EQ2, when it was supposed to be a standalone, optional thing.

I was so pissed when I saw the 20 min download that I went to express my anger on the official forums. Till I remembered than I had been banned for excessive negativity.

Druesius · 12-19-2007, 08:45 PM

I agree...this is crap. I also have a high speed connection, they advertise 10Mbps though I suspect it's closer to 5, and it's also 10+ min download for me. The LUs don't usually take that long.

So that's why I couldn't log into LoN earlier. That new expansion stuff for it. But, easy fix....use the shortcut to eq2.

In my opinion, how they set it up is nicely done. They added it into eq1, eq2 and maybe others but they also put into thought about the people who don't play these games. So they added a client for them as well.

In the end, everyone will make their own opinion of everything so you can't please everyone sadly.

Edit: But you guys need to get a grip. Not defending it because I play it since I don't technically play it, I use it for loot cards and nothing else.
