Confirmed Underfoot will not be in Retail Stores

So with the possibility of SoF being the last retail release of Everquest has anyone entertained the idea of obtaining newer content in another way. An organized download direct from SOE would be a legal way of obtaining Underfoot without it having to be a retail release. Setting a predetermined time frame to patch to live and having everyone do so within that time frame would potentially work. I know this idea is flawed in more than a few ways but it is viable option for obtaining newer content.

There will be nothing SOE can do about this as we would all be paying to play for a month or using up a trial subscription we still have the rights to use from the purchase of a previous expansion.

If we could use the download, it would have to be without any patches. If the game is patched at all then everyone that would ever play would have to patch during that same time frame, even people who don't know eqemu exists yet.

That being said we probably could use the downloaded Underfoot, the only issue then becomes whether sony decides to change the download and fix it with patches. Newer players would not have the same version.

So it really seems like the boxed editions are the only ones that we can really depend on not to change.
