RoK digital download and store bought box preorders - DIfferences

[Hukklebuk]

anybody know what is different / missing (if anything) between digital download and boxed copies of RoK?I typically get a DdL and a Box copy, but I don't see any differences mentioned this time.  Are there any?thanks, and my apologies if this is the wrong forum.  One didn't really jump out at me as really fitting for preorder questions.EDIT **** found the differencesbox details from <a href="http://www.gamestop.com/product.asp?product%5Fid=648000" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://www.gamestop.com/product.asp...uct%5Fid=648000</a>and: Free 30-day access to Allakhazam.com’s Premium Service!

Is the digital download the only way you get the adventure packs for this rok expansion?  I noticed that the box version does not list the adventure packs and it would be nice to have those.

<p>from what i understood when RoK was first announced, was that it was to be basically released just like EoF was... retail box included all previous expansions and original game, but no adventure packs, and digital download only included RoK expansion itself, nothing else.</p><p>i could be wrong about this, but i dont think i am. the only way to get adventure packs is to buy them and/or subscribe via station access pass. you get all adventure packs free with station access, plus extra character slots on the account. if you go back to a regular account from station access, you loose acess to the adventure packs and the extra character slots, unless you paid for the adventure packs before you switched to station access.</p><p>hopefully someone from the TSRs can confirm or deny this.</p>

<p>Just go by what they say they will include for the digital download:</p><p><a href="http://www.everquest2.com/buyNow.vm" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://www.everquest2.com/buyNow.vm</a></p><p> "EverQuest II is an "All-In-One" compilation pack including all the features and content from the critically acclaimed base game EverQuest II, all three adventure packs, Splitpaw Saga^TM, The Bloodline Chronicles^TM and The Fallen Dynasty^TM, and all three previously released expansion packs, Desert of Flames^TM, Kingdom of Sky^TM and Echoes of Faydwer^TM plus the new expansion pack Rise of Kunark^TM. "</p><p>I would have to guess that the retail is the same.</p>

hmm... i stand corrected, they have obviously changed how the digital download site works and what is offered on it.
