I just found this forum and website.

Now, I got eq up to Pop/LDoN

What do i need to read, what do i need to download, what do i need to change.

If someone could be kind enough to link me some info or explain somethings that would be great.

The FAQ is still under maintenance.. bare with me. :)

no prob thanks for the info

ok, so i got eq installed, but i have no patched yet because latest patch breaks eq emu, now what should i do...
Is there a way to recieve an old patch that works? or... am i up a creek without a paddle..

I have no idea what to do.

new people can not play eqemu untill we get cought back up to live.

ah ok so just patch up and play when emu is caught up.

Will there be a huge "WE CAN PLAY AGAIN" post on the main page when us newbies can actually play:)

yes there will

I thought I would post this here rather than start up a whole new thread, as I agree that can be annoying.

I'm a noob with a tech question here, but it's a simple one and I'll explain the specifics so you don't throw too many stones at me. For the Winter's Roar Server I went ahead and followed their website's instructions to a Tee and came here first and followed the instructions given on the FAQ guide of How to Play on EQEmu.

Everything went fine at first. I registered my name with my E-mail, got the confirmation E-mail, was able to sign in to this Web Site, and then I went to my Profile and created an actual Account, using my assigned passkey code listed on my profile.

I then patched a fresh install of EQ Evolution and patched it to current.

I then made the modifications as listed to my EQHost text file and the rest as the FAQ listed.

From there I went ahead and followed Winter's Roar website's instructions. I downloaded their patcher, character creation file folder, etc. Inserted what was needed and patched using their patcher. I finally hit the Run key and this put me into the game, doing the usual config junk of my screen size, if I had sound on or off, what models I'd be using to represent the races in play (old or Luclin), etc.

I figured I was all set to go so it asked for my Account name and Password. I tossed it in and got an Error Message of
" EQEmu Error - Bad username/password" and could go no further.

Is this a fault with my program accessing EQEmu? Is it a fault that I have with my Account and my listed Account Name and Password? Or is this a fault with my having patched to current (1/12/05) and like everyone else, I must wait until the Devs of this site are able to update the code needed?

Thank you for being patient with me and I hope my problem and what answers you have may be of use to others new to this system.

Ah, never mind. I was able to log into the Winter's Roar server no sweat following the latest details and instructions posted Here - http://www.eqemulator.net/forums/showthread.php?t=17659

Thank you for the great work, Devs! I know that none of this has been easy for you. It is appreciated.
