Installation:
Base download : 18MB Fast download no problem

Game DownLoad
most frustrating thing it took almost 18hrs of component download(about 1.6GB).
Charecter creation:
Very nice and easy
select race --> Sex --> speciality.
GamePlay
you stat at learning the basics of playing , controls and basic magic and combat
very easy quests.
after getting around with controls which you can change to what you like you start walking around and talking to some other players.
i must admit the the help system is very good and usally you dont need to navigate a lot of submnues to get what you want.
there is also a keymap that you can print and have it ready next to you.
the runs very smoothly no problem when moving fast and no lag that i witnessed.
there is a lot to do and a lot of mini quests that are not hard to do or find.
the trial will let go up to level 6 and then no more .
but for testing it is enough.
i played it only for 3 days but i say that if you love WoW you will like EQ2 also.

**on each login the system updates the nececcry files which approximatly 2min.
**PC load the amount of resource the game took on my system.
