If you are using the same computer for both playing and server, then try this config setup. BACKUP your old config first,
then copy and and paste this to be saved as eqemu_config.json
This is the same one I use for testing. EDIT the account/password information. I added some stuff already for you from the
config you already posted, but check that out as well.
