Is there a way to recieve an old patch that works? or... am i up a creek without a paddle..

I have no idea what to do.

new people can not play eqemu untill we get cought back up to live.

[MeurtreMortTuer]

I thought I would post this here rather than start up a whole new thread, as I agree that can be annoying.

I'm a noob with a tech question here, but it's a simple one and I'll explain the specifics so you don't throw too many stones at me. For the Winter's Roar Server I went ahead and followed their website's instructions to a Tee and came here first and followed the instructions given on the FAQ guide of How to Play on EQEmu.

Everything went fine at first. I registered my name with my E-mail, got the confirmation E-mail, was able to sign in to this Web Site, and then I went to my Profile and created an actual Account, using my assigned passkey code listed on my profile.

I then patched a fresh install of EQ Evolution and patched it to current.

I then made the modifications as listed to my EQHost text file and the rest as the FAQ listed.

From there I went ahead and followed Winter's Roar website's instructions. I downloaded their patcher, character creation file folder, etc. Inserted what was needed and patched using their patcher. I finally hit the Run key and this put me into the game, doing the usual config junk of my screen size, if I had sound on or off, what models I'd be using to represent the races in play (old or Luclin), etc.

I figured I was all set to go so it asked for my Account name and Password. I tossed it in and got an Error Message of
" EQEmu Error - Bad username/password" and could go no further.

Is this a fault with my program accessing EQEmu? Is it a fault that I have with my Account and my listed Account Name and Password? Or is this a fault with my having patched to current (1/12/05) and like everyone else, I must wait until the Devs of this site are able to update the code needed?

Thank you for being patient with me and I hope my problem and what answers you have may be of use to others new to this system.

Ah, never mind. I was able to log into the Winter's Roar server no sweat following the latest details and instructions posted Here - http://www.eqemulator.net/forums/showthread.php?t=17659

Thank you for the great work, Devs! I know that none of this has been easy for you. It is appreciated.
