Hi,
My Dad wants to know before i start playing, how much MB of our internet will be used on average while playing Everquest 2. So if anyone knows or can give me an approximate it would be very much appreciated.
Thanx

Good Luck

Your internet has a limit. That's retarded. Change ISPs

[starjax]

more like some is metering his usage... like "dad".

there isn't any documentation. but online games take a lot of time before the bandwidth ads up. if you only play 2 hours a day, and maybe like 4 on the weekend you should be fine.

have you asked on the eq2 forums?

Every place I have searched for this info, I have found that a heavy user such as myself will use 16-20gigs a month. If you find that you are using more, then shut down everything running in the background that you do not need. Running other programs, or browser in background increases latency in the game, which will result in heavier data usage.
