Lords of EQ Demo

Sony has released a multiplayer demo of Lords of EverQuest through GameSpot. It lets you play one of the three sides in the game and includes an offline tutorial mission to get people started. Apparently the idea is to release two more demos at later dates, featuring the games other playable factions.

"The first demo for the Shadow Realm faction will be available exclusively via download from GameSpot.com (http://www.gamespot.com) beginning on September 19. The second demo, featuring the Elddar Alliance, will be available initially via download from NVIDIA's NZone website (http://www.nvidia.com/nzone) on September 29, and at select retail partners including GameStop and Electronics Boutique beginning October 6. The final demo, for the game's still-unannounced third faction will be available exclusively on the demo disc off the November 2003 issue of Computer Games Magazine. As an added incentive for players to collect all three Lords of EverQuest demos, having all three demos installed unlocks a special bonus multiplayer map."

Interestingly, despite the "exclusive" deal with GameSpot, the first demo (372 MB) has already been mirrored on all the major game sites, including 3DGamers, FileShack, IGN, and Worthplaying.
Update: Apparently there were a few technical issues with the original which are fixed in the new 402 MB file.
