New launcher causing full game download?

[Tallisman]

<p>So the new launcher is now installed and I'm patching. It says I have 14,002MB download. Is that right? That's almost the whole game isn't it? Why should that be when I already have the game and the expack I've bought is just AoD?</p>

<p><span style="text-decoration: line-through;">Hmm... sorry, I'm a bit confused. I thought I'd specified the correct directory. No worries, I'll just let it continue as it's over halfway now (I knew I should've got myself a faster download from my ISP).</span></p><p>EDIT - er yeah... my ISP just nom'd itself so I had to start again anyway. This time, I carefully checked what I was doing and it's now at 95% finished after a scan of existing files. I must've been caffeine affected last time. That, or too little beer. Nevermind - it's closer than before.

I'm in. All is well! **cheers**</p>
