Once I get past the little Windows patch progam (wth IS that, anyway?) and get to the real Patcher, I download a few files and then get ground to a halt.
Hit cancel. Hit download. Hit cancel. Hit download. Shut down. Double-click on EverQuest icon. Windows patch program. Nothing. Cancel progam. Delete from task process (win2000). Double-click on EverQuest icon. Windows patch program. Patch program. Download more files. Grind to a halt...
That's how I've spent the last three hours. Seems I have most files, but keep getting stuck on global5_chr.s3d...
btw - Go to everquest.com if you're having problems connecting with the patch server... That got me a bit further in this adventure...

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.
