SOE has gone after "popular" server with C&D orders, and the version there giving out for free changes so that wouldnt work ether.

I bought EQ from walmart and one of my friends bought his from some gaming store on the same day. The disks had 2 diferent versions of EQ on it. SOE changes there distro so much that we cant freeze on any version without handing out files, and thats against the law.
