Questions from an Emu-Noob

[Cardynal Syn]

I just created an account a couple weeks ago, so I've been hit with the problem about not being able to log in. However, I do check back here every few days to see whether a fix has been made. In reading the posts made on these forums, I'd estimate at least 50% of the posts are made with a "screw you, you ignorant noob" attitude. Another 25% of the posts are "you posted in the wrong forum, you idiot!".

Do most of the players in-game display this type of behavior? I realize we will always have a few of these people to deal with in life, but I really don't care to be on a server where half the people you meet are jackasses. To be completely honest and blunt, I just want to know whether it's worth waiting on a fix for the login problem.

At the risk of posting in the wrong forum, has anyone heard an estimate on how long before there is a fix? The last thing I read was "anywhere from a week to several months".

Depends on your login problem. I just released a new version that works with the EQLive client, so if that was the problem, then you should be able to connect to any of the 5.9-DR2 servers. About your comment about people being jerks, unfortunately there isnt much we can do. This is an open community and we dont check people's IDs to verify they are older than 13. Not saying all young people act like jerks, but thats mainly where the attitude comes from. Just hang in there, not all of us are jerks :P

I have a live patched copy of EQ and another for playing older versions of EqEmu.

When I try to connect to the 5.9-DR2 (live patched?) it gives me a timeout error. Im using port 5994, is that the right one? I havent seen anything to indicate otherwise.

Replying instead of starting a new thread ;p

yes, that is the right login server, make sure you are patched to live and verify its pointing to the right login server:

[LoginServer]
Host=newlogin1.eqemulator.net:5994

I have patched to live and changed eqhost.txt to:

[LoginServer] 
Host=newlogin1.eqemulator.net:5994

[blahmeister1]

I've patched to live, used 5994 in the eqhost.txt and I still get a timeout error. Not sure what im doing wrong.

[deatos]

im getting the same.

[noindy]

make sure you have no extra spaces or anything like that in your eqhost, if there are ANY errors at all you will get the timeout

[Dextor]

I used a patch I found for 5.9 DR2. It solved the timeout error.

When I use this and try to enter the world, the game just crashes.

[LoginServer]
Host=newlogin1.eqemulator.net:5994

it then replaces what was in my eqhost with...

[LoginServer] ]
Host=newlogin1.eqemulator.net:5994

[LoginServer]
Host=xp-smitchell:7308

Im clueless to what this is

Im working my hardest to get a Legit/Custom/PVP server up. With a very evolved loot structure and exstensive storyline. IDs can be checked off of corpses

I however need a little assistance:
Building a intelegent database.
Code for PvP Teams.
Semi experianced developers.
Data hosting refferals.

3 teams (Diety based storyline)
-Evil (Dark Elve, Ogre, Iksar, Troll)
-Good (High Elve, Half Elve, Dwarf, Half Elve, Froglok)
-Nutral (Human, Gnome, Erudite, Vah Shir, Barbarian, Wood Elve)
Nutral team can't wear Magic Items.
No X-grouping, buffing, trading, guilding, or chatting.
Lots of tradskill items for Nutral team only.
Great Magic item drops for Evil and Good Teams.
2 sided ring event quests, "Defend your Hero."
1 zone PvP maps during server downtime, (Ultrafast experiance, drops, and questing)~New Characters only.
