EQII (EoF) impossible to get ahold of in UK...

I played EQII when it first came out but gave up after 3 months. I have been hearing a lot of great reviews of this game of late and really am thinking about giving it another go, which, considering I have already run once before, says that the reviews EQII is getting must be good. I want to buy Echoes of Faydwer to catch up on the expansions, and I already have the original.
Thing is can I find this game anywhere in the UK? The answer is no. I have tried all the big online sellers and I have rung local game stores but no luck.
It sounds to me like SOE could have a big success (much bigger than the dodgy Vanguard - but I won't get into that game here) on their hands here. Surely that warrants more copies in the UK.
Does anyone have any ideas where to go to get this? I am tentative to digitally download and delivery from the States would take far too long. Is there a European distributer I can contact to kick their arses back in to gear?

You can buy a EoF retail key from Onlinecdkey.com. Then you can download everything through the patcher.
Both the French and German Amazon's seem to still have copies, so you could order from them. They tend to be set out the same as the UK Amazon, so you can use the UK version as a translation device. The game will still be in English when you play.
Nope, unfortunately they sold out ages ago. Game had copies for a while at £14.99 but they went pretty fast.

Is that Onlinedkey.com idea truly legal? Not too sure I like that idea anyway.
I'll try the French and German Amazons.
Looked a little harder and the HMV website says it has copies on order. Not too sure if that is reliable but I'll have to phone and see.

If I had to wait until November then I just wouldn't bother. The fact that I have played EQII, and given up, once before is still in my mind if I was honest. It is a big step for me to go back to a game I have played and given up once before.
A friend just started playing the game and he seems to like it and reading up on present changes just gave me a feeling of nostalgia from the past in EQ.
If I am going to give EQII a go again then it has to be now. Maybe I'll do the trial.

That has to be a bug or something in Amazon.UK
You could order from the US Amazon for like 40 pounds including shipping http://www.amazon.com/Everquest-II-Echoes-of-Faydwer/dp/B000H229BE/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/002-9331703-9886412?ie=UTF8&s=videogames&qid=1179120959&sr=8-1

That probably wont help for a DVD version as the UK and the US use different formats.

Bought my EoF from the US for $40 plus import tax/carriage just three weeks ago, from Gamestop.com and it runs fine in the UK

DVD movies have region encoding, US being region 1 and UK being region 2. This doesn't apply to games, however.
Here's an idea for you. Download the Echos of Faydar Trial from www.everquest2.com and buy the Digital Download from SOE. The trial download is about 80mb in size and when you run it it will download the rest of the game (about 8GB) so leave your computer on over night.
You will see that you can "unlock" the trial with your account once you've registered it all.
Hope that helps else there is a copy on Amazon.co.uk for £39.

i allready used dlgamer in the past for some games, they send you the cdkey per mail about 5 minutes after you enter credit card details.
and then you can download eq2 from soe (i hope you have a good line its a big download of 5+gb).
Seems like eof is a bit hard to get in europe atm, here in austria ist sold out in most stores too, but some have still a few copies. Would be a good idea for soe to bring a few new boxes to the stores its still a long time till Rise of Kunark release date.
£99??
£39.95 is the price now.

Well it was. It was either another seller or the seller realised it was never going to sell. I still won't pay £40..
