Hello everybody,
After reading this thread for a little while, all i can say is: ROFL...it really cheered me up, it is funny when you read some comments.
But to the point. I wanted to help out a little.
First of all, I'd like to give a big thanks to the dev team, you guys are awesome, I never expected this project to come this far. I hope more people will encourage the devs and less people will whine, complain and post halarious but stupid posts (we all know whom I mean).
We should simply ignore the morons.
Back to the post asking what backup is. It's basically copying the whole EQ directory in working condition to another hard drive or a DVD.
I'm in the same boat as everyone else, I had to reinstall WinXP and then recently got a new HD, so I installed EQ on the 18th and HAD to patch. I'll be waiting patiently until we get a fix.
Happy holidays everybody!
