Direct 2 Drive, All in One, EOF registration and download question ?

[Sado]

I am a returning EQ2 player and I currently have all the expansions and adventure packs up to Echoes of Faydwar.  I have done a search on the forums about ways to purchase Echoes of Faydwar and I have a question about purchasing the All in One package (including the original EQ2game, Desert of Flames, Kingdom of Sky, and Echoes of Faydwar) from Direct 2 Drive?  Since I have everything but Echoes of Faydwar already on my computer, could I purchase the All in One pack from Direct 2 Drive and <b>not</b> download it to my computer but instead use the registration key that Direct 2 Drive should give me to register it to my SOE account and  then have <b>SOE automatically download it for me</b> when I log into the game?  Or would I have to download the whole thing from Direct 2 Drive as well as registering the key with SOE ?

<p>In short, the news is good.</p><p>I created a second account for my wife. Installed my KOS discs.....entrered the key sent by D2D...and the patcher did the rest giving me all expansions on the account.</p><p> Hope that helps </p>

So if I clicked the "Buy It Now" button on EQ2's website and ordered EoF expansion using digital download it <b>DOESNT</b> come with the other three expansions!? Looks like I just wasted 50 bucks =|

<p>Is it possible to buy the All-in-one box or digital download and then split it ... upgrading my account with EoF and create a new account for my wife with the basic EQ2 game ?</p>
