I had some trouble with the 1017 error message and looked on the posts. I've also probably missed something while scanning the faq files, but when If you are getting a 1017 error message when attempting to join your minilogin server, please make sure you have added the eqemu account.
This can be done by opening up a command prompt, (cmd in run), going to your eqemu directory(example: cd C:\eqemu), and typing:

world adduser eqemu eqemu 200
said this, I saw I don't HAVE a eqemu folder. From what I gathered, downloading a folder with world.exes and db.dlls wasn't in the simple instructions for joining the servers. I'm fairly sure I missed something painfully obvious, but beating my head against my monitor wasn't working...

try looking 3 forums down.. Tutorials and Howtos oh my a forum to help get things going..wow imagine that. then looking inside you see a great post like HOWTO: Run Your Own Win32 EQEMu Server (http://www.eqemulator.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=9648&start=0&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight=)

to all people that post before reading:
spend a day or 2 reading before making yourself look like a fool.

I dont think he is wanting to join a server, but is getting confused... He just wants to play (that is the way I took it). If that is the case CArnifexpuer, then you are probably getting the error for one of two reasons. You either have a version of the EQ client that is too old, too new (meaning you patched the 10th and up), or you are having a NAT issue. Try looking up all three of these errors in search and you should find a resolution...

If you ARE trying to start your own server, then I agree with Wize.. sheesh read hehe.

K, thanks. I'm not trying to start a server or anything, just being really confused.
