Okay...1st, if you need to ask what eqemu is you shouldnt use it. you probly wont be able to figure out how to set it up. No not a flame just fact.

2nd, Did you download the software and look at it? spend more than like 30sec looking at posts?

eqemu = Everquest Emulator = Not Real EQ = Your OWN server.

Now I for one wondered what EQEmu was when I first started. I think that is due to the fact that EQ is just so massive though. EQEmu sounds like it emulates EQ which it does to a point but since EQ is both server and client that is where the confusion comes in. So basically EQEmu emulates the server side of EQ. Be nice Dev.
