Huge patch after installing TSO over previous install

[Krazedhermit]

<p>So. I had EQ2 and all expansion up to and including Rise of Kunark.</p><p>I install TSO and I've got a 13 hour patch on my hands, and some of the .vpk files it is downloading looks as though it is from previous expansions as they are labeled exp03 and such. Is this normal? Is this expansion modifying content from previous expansions or something?</p>
