Clever way to drive pre-orders

This bonus disk, sold on Amazon for just a dollar, is actually available free from the site of the producers, Sony Online Entertainment.
It contains a video trailer for the forthcoming MMORPG, Everquest II, some additional information and a 'Character Builder' - a tool that allows users to design and name the character that they will use in the game once it's launched. Perhaps the real bonus is that everyone who orders this disc will automatically get a pair of Journeyman Boots (which will allow their in-game character to walk a little faster) if they register online at the SOE site.
My only cavill about this disc is that the Character Builder is rather rudimentary compared to the process available in Sony's other large MMORPG, Star Wars Galaxies. In that game, you can create a toon that, despite having the same racial and professional characteristics as others, does look different and individual. In this EQII character builder, you can spend an enjoyable twenty minutes, say, tweaking and shaping your Gnome Mage and then, when you're done, you realise he still looks exactly the same as the base character on which you started except that he now has a new hair-do. Slightly disappointing.

These two CD's contain anything that you could download off the web page for video clips. The only thin that isn't out there is the char builder which is very lacking. One of the CD's is only for the char builder and doesn't let you do anything besides create the look of your char. I expected it to load into an open field or something that I could run around in and get used to the user interface and map keys they way I wanted to play. Nope, there is nothing like this that I can find. I know it isn't like it costs much from Amazon and is free from SOE but still feel like a marketing tool to predict and hopefully plan for the release so there is enough of a backend to run on the release date. I would of felt better reading up on the lore or other items then spending anytime with this.
Good Game, not worth the presell

I loved EQ2 when I was playing it, but there were too many classes and it took too long to level. Also, the raid mentally overwhelmed it, just in like EQ1. The presell bonus disk was a waste btw.
