To play 5.5 (DR1 or RC1) , patch to live (as of the time of writing). And post your support questions in the support forums. If you still want to play 5.3 servers, make a copy of your EQ client directory before you patch as 5.3 and 5.5 require different patch levels of the client.

to play on a 5.5 server you have to patch to Live via Sony's servers, if you patch though you will not be able to play on a server older than 5.5 unless you make a backup of your EQ folder somewhere else before you patch.

To play on EQEmu all you have to do is change the eqhost.txt files as described here:
