WR on Dial-up

I'm interested in playing WR but I need to know a few things first:

1) I quit EQ a long time ago (lost my 65 shaman's gear to a bug, never reimbursed, different story), so I haven't picked up any expansions after LDON. Are any expansions after this expansion used in WR?

2) I'm on dial-up, and besides the lengthy patching I'll have to go through initially, will I have to download any WR-specific files? I looked at the WR zone connection map and it's vastly different from EQ's... I'm guessing you changed the names of some zones, but were any complete new zones added? On an similar note, what optional zones would I have to download, such as Veksar or The Warrens. Also the Gunthak and LDON expansions are included since I didn't but the discs for them.

I'm very intrigued by this server and want to play on it, but I'm just wondering if it'd be feasible to get set-up on dial-up. I don't mind a few nights of downloading, but if it's just completely out of the picture, I'll need to know.

Thanks for the help.
 
If you're patched to LDoN era EQ live, you should be fine. a few minor downloads for WR, of which the WR patcher will probably be the largest, and you'll be set.

WR uses sone LDoN zones, some PoP zones, some Kunark zones, most of Antonica, Faydwer, Velious and Odus. No LoY, GoD, OOW required.

Don't use the shared bank.
 
I'd hate to come back and say you're wrong or anything, but I've looked all over and not once found mention of needing the LDON expansion... just looking for a reconfirmation that LDON is indeed requird before I spend hours needlessly downloading it... sorry for the distrust and thanks for the response.
 
I did all of my EQ files directly thrue the patcher from the EQlive website(I however own every EQ expansion, mostly multiple copies except for DoN lol) and I can tell you that I did not patch the LDoN files, and that I have yet to find a zone I cannot enter because of it. I know that some zones use mobs that I thought were only around from LDoN zones, but I guess I am wrong because upon double checking, I really dont have those files, so dont bother patching it in.
 
You don't need them unless you want to go to Catacombs specifically and probably / maybe a few other zones that might be using LDoN files in the future.

Click to expand...
I thought I saw a screenshot of a Froglok character that someone has. Weren't they introduced in LoY?
 
I had to download LoY to go into First Ruins, and the whole area.

As for dial-up, I'm so very sorry. I got cable almost at the same time I started playing everquest live, which was about 99'. I highly doubt I could go back.
