Hello Rizza, welcome to EQEmu!

Hmm. Are you trying to play on a internet server?

That tutorial is outdated and states right in it "OUTDATED USE THE WIKI"

#1, you MUST have Titanium, no other installs will work

#2, if you patch to live it WONT work.

#3, www.eqemulator.net click on wiki then follow the play guide..

Ok, I can't find the post explaining this so I'll be a nice guy and explain why that won't work :)

Every CD of a certain era that EQ was distributed on isn't the same client. There are way too many client/server mismatches. That's why the only client that came specifically with the Titanium distribution will work.

There seems to be some mixed feelings within the community about this route. I seen a couple or so that has the opinion that the dev's should keep updating live. Me personally, I like the titanium route much better because the updates are oh so much faster AND if I accidentally patch (which I done before and broke it hehe), I'm SOL :P So, it's well worth the 19.99 to buy the Titanium CD's :)
