Oh, I was wondering where that SoF purchase came from lol. Well, that's cool. Even if SoD doesn't wind up working with EQEmu for some reason (I am pretty sure it will work), it wouldn't be hard to make sure the steam SoF that comes with the purchase will work with it. So, making the SoD purchase now should at least get you a working SoF client if nothing else. If the Steam SoF client is a bit newer than the retail one (probably is), then it might even work better than the retail SoF we have now, anyway. And it would just mean a few opcode updates to get it working. I may download the free SoF from steam (that came with SoD) tonight and see what is up with it.

Actually, Rogean/KLS/Cavedude, do you guys have a problem with me moving this thread into the news section so it updates the front page for the few days that the sale is going on? Then I can move it back out again after the sale or whatever. Just trying to spread the news as much as possible before the sale ends.

My concern was patch level too. I have many games, as well as several SoE games, through steam that DO distribute the latest patch version of the game.

So if you buy your SoD now, someone a month from now may have a different patch level.

Could this potentially cause a problem?

It's been the same .exe on there for at least 2 years now. I don't think they'll change it, but you never know. Best to get it now.

I can't order anything online. Does this mean I'm going to miss out on any potential new content for EQ Emu because it will require the Steam version of the expansion?

Yes, but blame Sony. They have said there will be no more DVD releases, leaving us with no other choice.
