Are you using eqemu login servers? If so you can't add your self in the accounts in the database, you have to let the server do it self.

If your using minilogin, I don't know then.

Try download the EQEmu Patcher at http://www.eqemu.net/?patcher and run the patcher (make sure you check "Run EQ") and then try. If still 1017 then try EQEmu Server 0.4.1 or 0.4.2.

To see, right click on My Computer and click Properties. Look under where it saids "Computer:" and you will see you how much of you memory you have (Make sure it saids RAM at the end).

You don't have enough memory to play EQ. You need 512 MB of RAM or more (or 256 MB of RAM if you have all the models off) to play everquest. I like custom build computers better. :)

well crap, it played the tutorial fine

Funnas

The tutorial is alike to everquest but the tutorial is another story.

oh another thing, im not playing Luclin of Planes of Power, just the trilogy

Funnas

Then, their your problem. Luclin and Planes of Power are enabled on the server and have no idea how you disable the Luclin and Planes of Power Expansions on your server. Try asking that how you disable it. Also Kunark and Velious are enabled.

im just staying that the trilogy only needs 160mb of ram

02-24-2003, 11:54 AM

LOL. There's some funny things you read in forums...

OK, 128MB RAM 500MHZ CPU, "Trilogy" (but bought as the Original Kunzrk/Old World pack and then Velious).

I can play EQLive fine, except a _few_ zones (heh Burning Woods lol) which are too laggy.

I can play EQEMu fine (my server on LAN) fine as long as I dont go places I dont have... (ie Luclin or Planes of Power)

You do NOT need 512 MB ram to play EQ.

I think you need 256 to play Luclin if you use _ANY_ Luclin models, but I know people who played Luclin with 128MB ram and all luclin features disabled possible.

Not that this rant helps the original poster at all.

Nice, you fucked over a newbie. all that was wrong was that he didnt have the eqpatcher installed to his everquest directory. So much potential lost.../sigh ...... BTW im using a 450 mhz 96 ram box atm and it runs eq perfectly, I just zone slow. stfu kthx? kthx.
