0.5.0 vs. 4.4

OK, what is the difference between 4.4 & 0.5.0. Can I use both or only use one? Can I join either one at will just by changing my eqhost file? Can I play both the same way?

The 4.4 server works with the EQ client from around December 2002. 5.0 requires a more recent client, but will not work if patched on August 26th 2003 or later. You need a different EQ directory and eqhost for each one ... 4.4 uses port 5999 on the login servers, and 5.0 uses port 5997.

Is there a way I can get a copy of the EQ files for the 4.4 version? I have already patch to the latest EQLive version but would like to play on the 4.4.

Actualy there warz and illeagle to give out, and asking for then can get you banned. Read the forum rules.

1) No Warez (No Discussion or Providing of Warez). Warez is any file that has been obtained without purchase from the company or a "legit" vendor, or without the sole permission of the owner, or company is considered illegal and is not permitted on these forums. This also includes all EQ files and also means do NOT ask, give out, host, or in some other way promote the giving out of these files. This includes but is not limited to: The EQ Patcher, eqgame.exe, eqmain.dll, spdat.eff, cshome.s3d, cshome_chr.s3d, or ANY file downloaded with the Verant EQ Patcher (aka Everquest.exe) with the exeption of files that can be re-created within 10 seconds by hand (this means eqhost.txt is okay).


is the very first one.

wow, that sux.... guess I will never play version 4.4 LOL!
