I thought PC games only cost around $60ish for most, unless getting a collectors edition or something. I thought EQ also just charged per expansion and you just kind of load up everything up until that point, while keeping your old characters and equipment if you had any. There is no way I am paying skywards up to $300 or even $100! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
Last night I downloaded the free, I think it is called Bronze version of the game and began playing it. It shoved me in some kind of Drakkonian city instead of the birth place of the Barbarians... the whole reason I chose the Barbarian was to experience the snow and ice again.

The game plays, but barely. Even going to the first hut with all the trainers makes my laptop lag horribly and I have all the graphics, as far as I am aware of turned down.

You wouldn't have any problems with the titanium client. Modern EQ's graphics are more performance intensive than what you would be using here. Honestly, don't pay for the client - like has been said SOE give the files away for free anyway - just not the specific version you need. Nobody is going to come banging down your door to drag you through the courts and ban you from using a computer for life because you downloaded an ancient bit of software to play some classic eq. If SOE didn't want people playing this they would have shut ot down a long time ago.
