ok now I have a server setup on site now. so that's a start. was having trouble with world.exe opening after clicking on start.bat and closing immediately. After playing with the config file and changing and saving old config files as backups and stuff and then changing a old files name back to config somehow eqgame_config.xml.full came up and i saved that which made the other config files icon change into a web browser icon and some how made the damn thing work. I don't know but it now works.
but still have issues but least the server shows up on the site when i have it open. and as i am typeing this and let the world.exe keep running umm! i just realized i was being dumb again (hehe techy) and the zoneservers loaded correctly and now i can log in but having an issue with items even with the ax_classic I'll post the message after i login on my character.
