A Way to Log In to a specific server Without the Login Server?

[Riklin]

It seems the EQEMU login server is down now. I was able to log in a few hours ago, but it seems to be down.
Is there a way to log in directly to a specific server? Say some special "shortcut" command or some special IP setting in the eqhost.txt file?

There is no way.

Server owners can run their own LS as a backup, however.

On Zek we had a system that would permit you to use both login servers, with linked accounts so characters were available from the EQEMu LS and ours.

It was a bit of a headache to get working but it is an option for those that don't want to trust the EQEMu LS. And really NO server owner should trust it, in its current state its hot garbage :P
