Follow these steps and the setup prompts to install.<\/p>\n
1. Insert the “EverQuest II Trilogy Disc 1” into your DVD-ROM drive. If the disc does not automatically play, open “My Computer” and double-click on your DVD-ROM drive. Double-click the “Trilogy” icon.<\/p>\n
2. Follow the prompts trough the setup process.<\/p>\n
3. If you don’t have the original version of EverQuest 2 installed or Desert of Flames, the installation program will prompt you to install both as well as Kingdom of Sky<\/u>.<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
WHAT?<\/b><\/p>\n
To begin with there is no fucking “EverQuest 2 Trilogy”, secondly there is no fucking “Trilogy Disc 1” nor a “Trilogy icon”. But just “Kingdom of Sky Disc 1” and a setup program. The expansion is NOT supposed to include “Desert of Flame”, but just the base game and “Kingdom of Sky”.<\/p>\n
But you want to know the very best part?<\/p>\n
THE EXPANSION INSTALL DVDs DO NOT INSTALL ANY EXPANSION FILE<\/b><\/p>\n
Yes, you got it right. These install DVDs not only do not install “Desert of Flame” as erroneously reported in the quickstart guide, BUT THEY DON’T EVEN INSTALL THE EXPANSION I BOUGHT.<\/p>\n
I swear I tried and retried, I unistalled everything and restarted from a clean state. The only part that these DVDs install is the music files of the expansion. But NOT A SINGLE FILE OF THE ACTUAL ZONES, TEXTURES AND MODELS. NOTHING. NADA. ZILCH.<\/p>\n

This is just an excerpt because it continues for EVERY SINGLE FILE starting with “exp02” or “kos”.<\/p>\n
If there was a reason why I didn’t got the expansion through the digital download is because EverQuest 2 has these huge downloads that I’d gladly dodge since I’m not on broadband. No, I’m not in broadband, okay? I have no problems with CD-sized downloads, I can wait. But things get a bit more annoying with DVD-sized downloads. So I decided to go with the retail option.<\/p>\n
And what I get? Install DVDs that do not even install the expansion files? Are you kidding me?<\/p>\n
So I got it for a code, a map and two pieces of paper filled with WRONG INFORMATIONS?<\/p>\n
I don’t know. This goes just WAY beyond everything that is believable and remotely acceptable. Congratulations.<\/p>\n
I can only HOPE that this is about the european distributor screwing up big time and that SOE isn’t in any way involved.<\/p>\n
EDIT: I added the detailed patcher log<\/a> for all the files of the expansion.
