Idea: Create a Torrent for working version of EverQuest?
Given that anyone can download EverQuest for free - (on SOE's web site).
Wouldn't it be beneficial to create a torrent of the latest working version without the patch that breaks EQemu?

Creating a mirror of an already free-of-charge download? Anyone can download the software. How is this against the rules?
If they didn't want non-subscribers to download it, they would have required you to login with your active station name before downloading the software. This is not the case.

Upon reading the rules. The only part that has anything remotely relating to this topic:

I'm not sure how software that can be downloaded by anyone directly from the developer constitutes warez. That's like saying...
"No human beings. This INCLUDES dogs, cats, birds, and fish."
Doesn't make sense.

If they feel it's inappropriate, they can exercise their right to delete this thread.
I honestly do not believe this violates the rules, as I do not believe it's considered "warez." I just downloaded the full game from SOE's web site. Did I just break the law?
I'm not saying i'm correct, I'm just saying I believe I'm correct. If I'm not, please let me know how this constitutes warez.

I'm not doubting it. I wouldn't know, as I'm not a frequent poster here. If they wish to delete it, fine. I'd really appreciate an explanation though.

this thread wouldent be a problem if you got rid of the link, as I'm sure the developers know about this already and will not support a torrent for an earlier patch.

SOE provides the DL ONLY if your a furst time player, going to play on there servers for the trial 30 days to0 decide if you want to play, after that time you have to buy any expancions.
If i write a book, get it copywrited and published, then a year later someone is giving it out for free without my permition, thats against the law.
We dont have SOE's permition to hand out any of there files., and yes there copywrited.
