Heya All! I just happened upon Winters Roar. I used to play EQ but had to give it up after playing for a year because of its cost. Had a 54 druid too which was sweet. I only bought one add-on and even then barely scratched the surface of the places to go to, never mind 6 addons! Anyway, with no more EQ installed, what do I need to play Winters Roar and how do I get started?
 
All the information you need can be found right HERE. Read it thoroughly and precisely. And if for some reason it doesn't work, post any questions in the Technical Support Forum.

The CD's you will need is the original and all expansions up to (and including) Shadows of Luclin (though you can install all expansion up to PoP - include Lost Dungeons and Ykesha and nothing further as the server doesn't support them).

And remember, when you get to the part where you choose the models you want to use, just click your ENTER button after selecting models rather than using your mouse to click NEXT. Otherwise you won't get the models you chose if you hit 'next'.

Good luck!
 
Installation

I thought I read that you can install all the addons when you log in? I only have the original game and the Shadows of Luclin. Can I just install the original game and carry on from there?
 
Install what you have from CD and then run the EQ updater under advanced select the addons required and patch away ..

When this is done delete the eq updater short cut from desktop to save errors in future

then install the WR patcher and create a shortcut to the wrpatcher.exe file on your desk top and patch away.

Enjoy the killing spree likely to follow..
 
No account to sony is required ..

For my laptop I used an old account to download the 7 day trial of the EQ, RoK and SoV expansions but that account has been defunct (no money etc) since I cancelled my EQ accounts with SOE.

The patcher doesn't check for account status unlike EQ2..
 
Yeppers ,,

Do note of course that the servers may still be down atm as there is major pacth stuff going on atm.

Install patch Play ..
 
I cant remember, but isnt there a part during the installation of EQ that asks you how you want to pay by credit card etc and for how long you want to be billed? I thought that was during the install. How do you get around that?
 
You just create an WR account. Not sure how everyone else did it but i patched live then installed the hotfix and patched WR. then you can set up options and whatnot. Its a pretty easy process.
