Installing The Shadow Odyssey - What the hell?

[Mikecz]

<p>Hi, im new to Everquest II, and i have decided to buy the all in one compilation back , The Shadow Odyssey.</p><p>Got it delivered this morning, opened it up, put the disk in and started installing. About 5 minutes later:</p><p>Feature: Everquest II</p><p>Component: Common</p><p>File: E:data2.cab</p><p>Error: Data error (Cyclic redundancy check).</p><p>I thought ok, kinda wierd... so i tried it again. The same message appeared.</p><p>I looked at the data base, all it said was to digitally install EQ II, but why should i when i just payed for the disks????</p><p>I then decided to change installing location, as i would of guessed, it said:</p><p>Feature: Everquest II</p><p>Component: Common</p><p>File: E:data2.cab</p><p>Error: Data error (Cyclic redundancy check).</p><p>Is there any solution for this? I feel i have wasted my money at the moment anyway.</p><p>Thanks.... // Mike</p>

I got it on the box right here "30-day subscription included", why do i have to pay MORE just to update / install the game, and then play it..... please someone reply</p>

If you cancel the subscription prior to the end of 30 days you will not be billed for anything. Been like that since release. It also states that a valid credit or game card is required.</p>
