long, since Sony will be selling it for $40 until they bring out a new expansion.
I did check out the game play with the HoT client (on my own server) and
I had to do most of the same "touch-ups" that one has to do with UF client.
I found 163 files missing, (zone files, eqg's, etc), that one would usually get
with a Sony patch after buying the HoT. But I have those all added now,
and it works pretty good on most of the current content on the server.
I browsed around in the HoT zones, and I love the graphics in them

Just FYI, I am 99% sure that when Steam has an EQ download, it is the same one that gets used no matter which actual EQ expansion purchase you make. So, whether you bought UF or HoT, it is most likely the same download. That would explain the missing files and such that you got when buying HoT. The actual HoT client we use in EQEmu is from patching to Live. Though, you can do the patching for free since you purchased another client which comes with a trial key (as long as you don't apply it to an existing EQ account). I don't know how well the Live client works, but at least it shouldn't be missing any files at all.
