If you pre-order EQ2 you might very well recieve the bonus CD set! But what is the bonus? What does it include? Fear not... all shall be explained.
First off make sure when you pre-order that you'll receive the Bonus CDs. I say this because some retailers aren't offering the Bonus set... so you'll want to make sure to ask before purchase.
Now to get down to business. When you pre-order you'll recieve a two disc set. On the two discs are the following:
1)System scan program
It's a web based program that scans your computer and presents a chart comparing your results to required and recommended stats.
2)Sample Music
Not usually a big deal but this music is great! Seriously it is some of the best game music I've ever heard. Total are 4 songs. 3 are selectable and the 4th plays over and over on the main menu. The first song is the theme music for EQ2 which is heard in some of the preview movies. The second and third songs are representative selections for Qeynos and Freeport. The fourth song is titled "Black Burrow" and has a Native American style to it. All are in mp3 format and easy to extract from the cd.
3)Gameplay Video
This can be downloaded off the internet. Its the E3 or "In depth" movie that some of you might already know. If not then you can view it here: http://everquest2.station.sony.com/#mediaMovies
If you only see one movie about Everquest 2 then this is the movie to see.
4)Offical Trailer & "Making Of"
This is basically two movies put together. The second part is the "EQ goes to the movies" also in the above link. The first part is a minute or two long and quickly covers some basic development of the game.
5)Lore
This is Chapter I or "The Council of the Gods" in the continuing Lore series. The storyline will cover what happened in Norrath the past 500 years. The remaining chapters are released on the main EQ2 website or here: http://eq2players.station.sony.com/en/lore.vm
6)Fan Club
A link to join the fan club. Also contains all the fan site kit materials. I believe they are also available for download on the website.
7)Wallpaper
4 available wallpapers that were new to me. They can now be found on most fansites.
8) Journeyman Boots
Part of the bonus set are the pre-order buyers only, Journeyman Boots. You have to mark your account to recieve them. Only 1 character can accept these boots. I'm not sure if it's the first character you make or if you can give them to any charcter.
9)Create Your Character
The main reason for a lot of people to buy the pre-order was for this feature. This program takes you through the entire character creation process. You can name and save all characters. The process works much like that in SWG with a bit more detail and of course better graphics. There will be some tweaks to the graphics in the live version so this program isn't exactly the same but pretty close.
10)Prima Guide Access Code
This isn't on the CD but included on a slip of paper with your set. You get an access code to view an exclusive area of the prima guide website. There is a lot of info on each race and city.
If your interest in EQ2 is simply mild then skip the pre-order. However, for those of you who can't wait another day, the character creation process will eat away many hours that should of been spent playing with the kids or writing that great, epic novel.
