Patching

[amlahren]

I just want to make sure I understand everything here.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but there are 3 methods of patching:
1- EQemu Launcher
2- Creating a "patch me" shortcut
3- Manually downloading

I've always used the EQemu launcher, but I hate how it stays open after EQ launches.

I'm curious if the "patch me" approach does the same thing. The only downside I can see is... on a patch day, you click the shortcut, and EQ doesn't launch for a long time because it's patching. Unless you're an avid forum user who knows when patches are released, this would be confusing. Is this all correct?

Thanks!
