account key
 

it keeps saying the account key i am being given by the website is incorrect, i have checked it, re checked it, triple checked it, i have recently gotten a new computer so i have had to re install eq, could that be the problem?

warmarshal from vx? hey its deldrar. anwyay, i had a friend install eq emu. his host file, shortcut, and data rate are all correct and he has the latest files. he cant logon with eqemu accounts and his activation key doesnt work, but he can get on my live account. any ideas?

I am new here and was having the same problem. I noticed after running the patcher the eqhost settings were reset to their original values. With the patcher up I reset them to

[Registration Servers]
{
"register.eqemulator.net:5999"
}
[Login Servers]
{
"eqlogin1.eqemulator.net:5997"
"eqlogin2.eqemulator.net:5997"
"eqlogin3.eqemulator.net:5997"
}


and my key worked.

Hope it helps

nope not helpin, i even got a brand new boards account to see if just the account key i was given was bad, and it isnt taking my other one, what else i noticed is when i patch, it doesnt reset my eqhost values, they stay the same

I am having the same problem. I am positive i have done everything correctly, but still i get the error bad username/password when i try to log in. Only thing i can think of is that the login server is not recognising new accounts. :cry:

aye, that would really suck, i wish a dev would come in here and fill us in on why it isnt accepting new account keys

testing

hmmm...i just logged into normal eq, and it never changed my eqhost.txt file, it is still the eqemu eqhost.txt, but i logged into normal eq just fine

ok now im just annoyed, now when i run eq using the copy i made and when i added patchme to it, it runs like its the FIRST time iv ever ran eq, and has the backgrown of the velius expansion. When i try to make a new account, it sais no eqhost.txt file found, but i can log into normal eq with no problems

Sounds like your install of EQ might be messed up. I know it's a pain but I'd say reinstall and see if that helps.

Also, make sure your EQEMu shortcut points to "EverQuest\EQGame.exe patchme" instead of "Everquest\Everquest.exe" or Everquest\Everquest.exe patchme"
