Warning: Do not patch without checking the forums!
 

Please people stop the complaining, if you patched 06/21/04 you are screwed. I advise you to check the forums before you patch next time. If you play live seperate your live and eqemu folder. I must have about 4 EQ folders. Current EQEMu, Live, Old loginservers (0.5.7-DR3 and below), and Winter's Roar.

Please do not come crying on iRC and the forums and complaing your login is hanging, but I patched, because we have no solution. I have gotten many private messages on iRC and the forums about this.

Until this patch is fixed I suggest you find another game to play or come chat with us on iRC. Download an iRC client at http://www.miRC.com/ (most popular client). Once it is downloaded just click one of the channels in my signature to join.

EDIT: Pointless complaining from myself... deleted

Saying you have to patch in the newbie guides is fine, because a clean install is not compatible and so they have to patch to get the latest files even if those aren't compatible yet.

right, then they are just going to have to wait till eqemu catches up to the live patch, sorry thats the way it goes...

How long?
 

How long do you expect the catching up of EQEmu to take?
How long has it taken in previous circumstances?

I can't wait till it's all fixed up again, i want to play with my friend at my house...

It takes anywhere from 1 hour to a couple months. This time is pretty complicated and has already taken longer than most times except for when GoD came out. Maybe its because a lot changed, or maybe the devs are jsut busy. No one has said what is messed up or how much progress they've made so I'd guess they are very busy.

im new
 

i just set up EQEMU, i take it i will have to wait =( since todays patch is big 7/14/04, i cant wait to meet you all =)

i just set it up as well, but when i click account to make new account i get the station.com webpage.

Click the new account link on the front page of this site.

I laugh, I can play both eqemu and live even if I patched :twisted: ph33r me.

so the 14th patch isnt ready yet? im sorry i didnt know where to look so ill ask here

Nope, it'll be in the front page news when it is.

I have a simple question...just wondering the exact files i need to backup i have a backup folder already with everquest folder completey copied but i would like to be able to do it without making a completey new everquest directory

The exes, dlls, and the entire uifiles directory are all you need to backup to be sure to be compatible. The uifiles aren't strictly necessary but they can cause weird things if used with a different version of the exes.

kk thanks

isnt there a way we could just revert to the version that CD expansions installs EQ to?

Im a moron I cant read rules, I like to do what I want with no regard for the law. Im a bad bad person

Read rule 1.

No, there is no way to PC thta, and it would be buggy as hell, there would be missing zones, missing Mobs ectect

u can make a private server but may not download the client for it?
its allmost like saying private servers arent illegal?

It's not about what is legal or illegal. The Developers make the rules for the forum. You may not agree with them, but you either abide by them, or break them at the risk of being banned ... your choice.

so they just dont like warez because they are against it?

As I understand it, the EQEmu server code does not break any US laws, but providing links to download Sony Online Entertainment copyrighted code does, which is why providing links to download the client or older versions of client files is not allowed here.

thats something i allmost cant believe

Well, if you are an Intellectual Property Rights Lawyer, argue your case here, otherwise just obey the forum rules.

Sebber, shhh... u dont wanna fight the power... u dont know what they do to users that defy their laws...

lol i just wanted some answers thats all
because i didnt understand it

Sony has the client on their website. There is no need to put up a torrent or have some other location to download Everquest. The everquest software is free now.

So If I patched on october 22 then I can't play correct?

how can you still play if you patched twisted...does yours just randomly work?

well, I posted this back on the phpbb before the hack, so the :twisted: part pretty much explains itself. I think this was about 3-5 months ago too, and I patched, I can't plau EQEmu, w00t, =P.

sorry just read the new rule about patch excuse me again

there is never an ETA, because SOE patched again, so now the work to get current with live starts all over again
