If you’ve misplaced your game disks or you're new to EQII and want to try it out, we have downloadable versions of a few different installers on our website for your convenience; the EQII Trial installer, the EQII installer, and the Station Launcher installer.
EverQuest II Trial Installer
If you are new to EverQuest II and you would like to download the 14-day free trial, just visit: http://everquest2.station.sony.com/freeTrial.vm
If you have questions about the trial or download, be sure to stop by our Support site or Support Forums to see if the information you need is there or to ask for help.
EverQuest II Installer
If you are an existing EverQuest II customer returning to the game and you need to reinstall the EQII Launchpad installer for any reason (e.g. you don't have access to the discs, you want to activate a buddy key, etc.), you can find it in the following location:
http://everquest2.station.sony.com/en/install/
Please note: this is a large file and will take a while to download.
Station Launcher Installer
Another installer that is available for EQII players and all Station games players is the Station Launcher.
Station Launcher is a simple one-click application that delivers all your Station games, friends, and community news right to your desktop, and eliminates the need for multiple desktop shortcuts and launch pads for all your Station games. Station Launcher is currently in beta testing and is optional, however once beta is over, it will be the only launcher for all Station games. You can download the beta at:
http://launcher.station.sony.com/
If you have the Vista operating system on your computer, you may need to follow these steps in order to run Station Launcher.
Technical Problems
If you have any problems downloading and/or installing any of the launchers, please visit our Support Forums for help.
