Please people stop the complaining, if you patched 06/21/04 you are screwed. I advise you to check the forums before you patch next time. If you play live seperate your live and eqemu folder. I must have about 4 EQ folders. Current EQEMu, Live, Old loginservers (0.5.7-DR3 and below), and Winter's Roar.

Please do not come crying on iRC and the forums and complaing your login is hanging, but I patched, because we have no solution. I have gotten many private messages on iRC and the forums about this.

Until this patch is fixed I suggest you find another game to play or come chat with us on iRC. Download an iRC client at http://www.miRC.com/ (most popular client). Once it is downloaded just click one of the channels in my signature to join.

Saying you have to patch in the newbie guides is fine, because a clean install is not compatible and so they have to patch to get the latest files even if those aren't compatible yet.

right, then they are just going to have to wait till eqemu catches up to the live patch, sorry thats the way it goes...

How long do you expect the catching up of EQEmu to take?
How long has it taken in previous circumstances?

I can't wait till it's all fixed up again, i want to play with my friend at my house...

It takes anywhere from 1 hour to a couple months. This time is pretty complicated and has already taken longer than most times except for when GoD came out. Maybe its because a lot changed, or maybe the devs are jsut busy. No one has said what is messed up or how much progress they've made so I'd guess they are very busy.

The exes, dlls, and the entire uifiles directory are all you need to backup to be sure to be compatible. The uifiles aren't strictly necessary but they can cause weird things if used with a different version of the exes.

It's not about what is legal or illegal. The Developers make the rules for the forum. You may not agree with them, but you either abide by them, or break them at the risk of being banned ... your choice.

As I understand it, the EQEmu server code does not break any US laws, but providing links to download Sony Online Entertainment copyrighted code does, which is why providing links to download the client or older versions of client files is not allowed here.

Well, if you are an Intellectual Property Rights Lawyer, argue your case here, otherwise just obey the forum rules.

Sony has the client on their website. There is no need to put up a torrent or have some other location to download Everquest. The everquest software is free now.

well, I posted this back on the phpbb before the hack, so the :twisted: part pretty much explains itself. I think this was about 3-5 months ago too, and I patched, I can't plau EQEmu, w00t, =P.

there is never an ETA, because SOE patched again, so now the work to get current with live starts all over again
