Don't despair just yet, it always seems to overestimate download times, and while you probably do have a few hours to go I would hope it's less than that!

The Echoes of Faydwer package was more or less up to date for November and GU 29 when it came out (actually the disks have to be pressed weeks before that to be shipped to stores.) <a href="http://forums.station.sony.com/eq2/posts/list.m?topic_id=253135" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://forums.station.sony.com/eq2/...topic_id=253135</a> We just got GU 33 so you can read all the updates that have happened since November.

On top of that we have had 4 Free updates sence EoF was pressed gold(including content in 29 that was not part of EoF), each of wich has added a significant amount of content to the game, Including, lots of Art for Frostfell(Cristmas), Ellorii's Day(Valinintes day) and Brell's Day(St. Patricks Day) and while the Zones and quests are not needed anymore, they all had "house Iteam" rewards that addes Meat to the Downloads, Then there was the addtion of Unrest, wich from what I hear is a HUGE zone with all new art, AND the Revamp of DFC wich also added new art. </p><p>Basicly ALOT of stuff has been added sence EoF launch. One thing you have to say about EQ2 and SoE, they don't sluff off on FREE content updates, we get one about once a month, on average. </p>
