i know im going to dread asking this
 

I am trying to setup my system to run on the servers here, I have followed the tutorial to the letter for logging onto the servers, NOw here is my problem I can log on , go to the server select screen but when I hit play I get booted back to the main screen, somethign about patch server? hopefully someone can help.

ME.

You must wait until the next release of eqemu that supports LoY and all features up to current. Sit back. It could be a while.

Even if I do not LOY installed?

If you patched after December, yes.

Ok what if i reinstall the main program? will i still need to wait?

Yes.

What is LoY?

Legends of Ykesha expansion pack (LoY)

Is thay why im having all that trouble? :( I will have to find away to make it work! :P chances of acctually making it work = 0, but I like playing around with files, so I will do it anyway! :P

Weird
 

I got it to work just by playing with that stuff from this page... weird... I just patched with the server the other night too. Is that supposed to happen? After seeing people talking about banning on here I'm afraid to say what I did even though it seems legit (since I did it all from this page). Who should I talk to, to see if I did anything I shouldn't mention on this page? No warez or anything...

If you found a good way around it, I want instructions. If you tell me how, I will be your best friend! :P

There is only ONE good way around it.

Wait for the new EQEmu Patcher to be released or until the current patcher is brought back up.

That is absolutely 100% the ONLY way to play EQEmu after december 2002.

No eta so dont ask

I can play it . :roll: I don't crash or anything. I am asuming that the problem is only there for people trying to make a new server (because I tried and I got and after the source reloaddb.sql; which I had to turn off because it was beeping errors for well over 10 minutes...) and I really don't think you should make poor us suffer :( :lol: well *sigh* if I can't find away around it here, I will find a way somehwere else I guess *sigh* if you think there is something in my post that you would think is against the rules (I dont think it is but I may be wrong....) you can delete this post. :) I just want to play around with options. I can't really host a server anyway :lol:

Ok. I can play too. I am having trouble getting the server to run. Is the problem supposed to be playing EQemu or running an eq emu server? Because it runs just fine with only resources downloaded directly off of eqemu.net main page, a real copy of EQ and being currently (June 2003 now) patched from everquest.

Running EQemu is a different matter. Still having problems. Is this what the problem is? If it is then I think some people are being mislead into thinking that you can't play on an EQemu server if you have been patched recently.

If you somehow get the EQ patch files without using the EQemu patcher (when it is available again), and you 1) give them out, or 2) tell someone how to get them, or ASK for them (in ANY way, directly or indirectly), then you will have your post deleted and could get banned (at moderatores discretion).

Those are the rules, deal with it, or leave.
