Thanks for the detailed reply
That's too bad about the quests, but I took a look at the quest sections and they don't seem too hard to create (I'm used to basic java and c++). The questmaster5000 program by schoppew also looks promising if I wanted to make a bunch of basic quests quickly. I just can't wait until I have a working everquest to try it out
And about the boot5zones - so as I understand it, each zone.exe can load one zone. So if you run a big server with many people that will be in more than 5 zones at a time, you'd need more than 5 zone.exe's running, right? If you don't have enough zone.exe's running, will the server crash, or does it run new zone.exe's automatically?
And I misunderstood eqemulator and minilogin. I thought eqemulator did what minilogin actually does (runs a private server). So eqemulator sets up a public server on your system that accepts users that have been authenticated by this website (newlogin1.eqemulator.net)? So eqemulator.net takes care of the account creation/authentication and passes users on to a registered public server. Minilogin also does the same thing, but in a more basic way and for single private servers. Am I right on that?
And sorry for all of the questions
I'll attempt to write a good faq for the tutorials section once I figure this all out.
