Aye and where can i get it?

Sorry if this is a complete no0b ass question, but I been looking and everything else and its granny is refered to and linked to.

But this I have no idea what this is, couldn't find any reference to it on the main site and I get the impression its a really really commonly known thing, like hte sky is blue, no need to post a pic that the sky is blue, everyone can see the sky is blue.

Cept I got a crooked neck and I can't look up, so err send me a pic.

Ok thats a crap metaphore but someone help me out here what is it, where can i get it, and can a completely illiterate fool get it working?

The link can be found easily in the readme (http://eqemu.sourceforge.net/shawn319/documents/readme.html). You might want to read it :p

Fongsai, are you the the same suk munk I know from 7th?

No but i have heard of him, apparently there is a SaiYuk Fong hanging around, and a Fong Sai'Yuk hanging around an all.

Seems the name was quite popular :p

Am I going to get any help here if I ask a dumb question on Mysql?

Well I will put hte question up and see what comes.

In the 7 newbie steps, it says.

Go into your Database tab, right click on your host name and 'create database'.

Now when I go there all I get is 'Flush Logs' 'Flush Thread' 'Flush someother stuff.

I don't see a create anything ;(

Actually let me work my way thru that readme you posted first, that looks good enough for a complete fool to use, which is quite useful cause I know this complete fool who is trying to use this.
