Thanks to EQ2Interface.com!
 

I would like to thank everyone at this site for my getting a beta invite.

I am happy to report that I received my Beta invite from SOE about 3 hours ago after winning it on this very site. Only 45 more minutes until my download is complete! :)

You are MOST welcome!

See you in game!

Hey.. now you can come back and tell everyone your findings since the NDA was lifted today.

Jesus, what kind of Internet connection do you have?

It took me 11 hours to download it 10 weeks ago. Since then, I know I have downloaded 6 hours of Voice Over Packs and general patches.

I usually run between 700 to 900 KBS.

I have a cable connection, 3.0mbs. The download took 3 hours 40 minutes total.

I have to say the game if fantastic so far, really very enjoyable. Started as my usual Cleric :) I've haven't done a ton so far, just a few starting quests, and I love it already!
