Program seems awesome...

The program seems awesome. I had a long 2 1/2 hour battle getting the server and database working flawlessly on 5.6. I knew, however, I wouldn't be able to connect to it using my recently patched (just today) version of EQ.

I had always thought of playing EQ on a LAN. My friends and I all used to play EQ (I was in Beta 3, 4, and played for 2 years after it went live). However, when EQ became massively successful, I knew they'd never release the server code for use by people (even though after all their servers go down, that would be an excellent way to make some extra money off the game). So when I came across this, I was a little skeptical. That was before I got the software working.

Everyone is asking when it'll work with their newly patched clients, but I'm really more concerned with when the software will have LAN functionality or a MiniLogin.exe included in the compiled copy again?

I'm in no big hurry. I don't play EQ anymore and I don't plan on having a LAN party for a while. Still, this is a very exciting program and I would love to be able to use it at a LAN party one day so that my friends and I can unwind in our own universe without the hassle of spawn campers and power-levelers.
