one of the question links is screwed... the how to play on emu link, links you to another topic that is deleted. see for yourself...

very hard to figure out how to get on these servers.

I know yall say that it is a preferred server for a newbie, I have played on it before, and I accidentally patched at some point, or I should say, My sister did, and I couldnt get back on, but I havent played since the last patch so I havent updated the game . . However, where has Raid Addicts gone? Am I putting the wrong server set or something, or do I need to put in an older one to find those that have yet to patch to the 6.0 setup that you all have, Thank you for your time.

Xabob, you need to revise that tutorial.
- Some links aren't existing anymore, common problem when you link to forum posts because they disappear or change pretty often.
- Some of your answers aren't totally right :
-> 1017 error, doesn't all the time mean you need to patch
-> Unpatching is possible if you're backing up your hard disks and you could also advise people to duplicate their directories.
-> GW and Raid addicts servers...
-> You can host your own server for free, if you keep it private

We could use a newbie guide of that kind, but it would have to be extremly complete and accurate. We don't need 3 different guides that say the same things
ps : I saw that your guide is 7 monthes old, i prefered to comment it instead of deleting it :)

I disagree about needing a shit load of time and money to setup a server.

First time I set one up almost a year ago took about 1 month to perfect.

I am right now getting my server back online... started Friday, should be up by next Friday.

I only needed to buy my server computer (yeah it was expensive but not a shit load)

Anyhow, I just strongly disagree about the time and money part, because it is not that hard to do once you have done it once already, but I find it tricky finding a build that works... got a new laptop recently and all of my compilers were on old one.

=) Everquest is not too hard to setup a server for... although I am running into a small problem ATM.
