I think that you guys are at the same time expecting too little and too much.
Too little out of Sony, and too much out of your systems and your pocketbooks. You should not have to rebuild a computer system in any fashion because of one game, unless you have an ancient system.
I've been looking at the Sony forums for EQ2 for weeks now, trying to find any useful information about this horrible memory leak, but I have yet to even find an admission from Sony that there is a memory leak, let alone any sort of information about work being done to fix it.
There are a ton of users of all sorts speculating on possible reasons for the memory leak, blaming anything from "stupid Sony" to "stupid users" to "stupid hardware". Lots of blame being thrown around, lots of theories about why the leak happens, very few constructive ideas on how to fix it, and no comment from Sony.
The few positive workarounds I've read about generally involve adding more physical RAM and defragmenting the hard drive. These suggestions will prolong the inevitable, but won't fix the problem.
Our best hope lies in repeatedly spamming the /bug report ingame, restarting the game every few hours to avoid a total crash of our machines, and hope that Sony will fix it someday. If you've got the funds, put more physical RAM in your machine.
