Expansions

[Valandel]

<p>1) I'm returning to EQ2 after a few years of WoW and other MMOs, and I only have the original EQ2. I was looking at the price of the expansions, and the total came to $100, according to the station price. I noticed BestBuy's site had two of them bundled with the original for $39.99. I'm not sure why station isn't offering the same, but I was wondering if there was anywhere I could get some or all of these bundled, or at least at a reduced price.</p><p>2) Same question but for the Adventure Packs (not as important, total comes to around $20.) Also wanted to know if these are still worth getting, by the way.</p><p>3) Is there any harm, or will I be at a disadvantage, if I wait to get any/all of these? I read briefly about AAs, and it sounded like they're featured in the XP. Will it be harder to attain these, or am I able to at all, if I don't have the right XPs?</p><p>Thanks for the help.</p>

<p>Also, dont purchase the EoF digital Download as you wont get all the previous xpansions.  Only the Retail boxed version comes with everything.</p>

<i> Not true anymore. You can now buy the complete package online, and get all the expansions.</i> You can buy it online, but it's <i><b>NOT</b></i> the digital download from Sony. It's from Direct2Drive. If you go and buy the EOF from Sony you just get EOF.
