The way Blizzard patches is, they hand the patch out to absolutly anyone to host. SOE makes users get it from them.

SO WOW = older patchers can be given out freely because Blizzard gaven anyone permition to host them.

EQ = SOE has not given anyone permition to host them, so it is against the law to do so.


This community is not able to do anything about it, if you would like to call SOE and discuss with them being able to hosrt older files thats up to you.
