Same here, Niami.  Emergency backup browser ftw!Nice video---I like the segue into the Erollisi Day segment.  <img src="/eq2/images/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" width="15" height="15" />

[Savanja]

Minus points for making me load IE to view it.  It was worth it though so I suppose you're forgiven!  Very cool vid!

[Deathshe]

For Firefox users. Right click the video, select save link as, download, and play from your system.  (Better than loading IE lol)My wife says "Eww... Eww... Eww... Eww... (she hasn't stopped yet) Eww..."Nice bow in the first shot!

Tell your wife, Ogre's need love too! <img src="/smilies/69934afc394145350659cd7add244ca9.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />

Firefox 3 beta downloaded it just fine :O

[Loolee]

<img src="http://loolee.net/post/Looleesmiles/bouncey.gif" alt="" border="0" /> Ooooh!  Lookit the little polar bear!  I want!

[Frain]

If you run firefox, just rightclick the window and click "save link as" and that should make the download start.

looks good, but when?

[roces9]

Liked the video, but I wish they had spent their time on getting the update in on time instead of making a trailer. But it was still pretty cool.

My husband read this first then had me watch the video, looking for ogre panties. When they flashed he exclaimed "there's the ogre panties!" and I said "huh?" so he rewound it and played that part again. WHY? ... Just... WHY???Other than <b>that</b>, nice job on the video. I'm glad to see videos like this for EverQuest II!xxxooo

<cite>Amana wrote:</cite><blockquote>No matter what developers, team members, etc... do it is never good enough.  People always gotta jump to "I wish they had better spend their time".  </blockquote>Amen. I recall one guy/gal stating that far too much time was spent on the cover art for RoK and that more of the "developers" time could have been spent introducing more content. I had to laugh imagining all the developers working away on tablet pc's, grinding out their best version of the Dark Elf persona. XDEdit: *laugh* Not to mention all the times that Grimwell was accused of spending too much time posting on the forums and updating EQ2Players when he should be fixing bugs and game issues! *busts a gut*

Once everyone realizes that those at SOE are not out to fit one person's specific agenda I think there might be less complaining.  Sadly, it is seemingly to be a catch-22 no matter what anyone does.  Shame on the devs for giving us something nice to look at while the update goes live!  Shame on them for not being bent over drawing boards and coding systems 25-8!  The horror!/sarcasm off
