The database directory was named eqdr2_{something}. Might want to specify to rename it eqdr2. Also, you said to type in 'use eq' instead of 'use eqdr2'. Everything else seemed to work ok, though the eqhost file looked like this:
[Registration Servers]
{
"67.15.24.48:5999"
}
[Login Servers]
{
"67.15.24.48:5997"
}

I changed the IP address for Login Servers to the eqemu address, inside the quotes. When I ran the shortcut (with patchme), the icon looked like the old EQ, the shield with blue letters. And it patched from live-eq and changed eqhost to look like you said it would in the tutorial. I exited out of Live and re-changed the eqhost file, but specifically to what you had suggested:
[LoginServer]
Host=newlogin1.eqemulator.net:5998

and I found the EQGame icon (black with gold letters) and made a shortcut for that, and added the patchme to the command line. Now it seems to jump in without patching, but after logging in I get a blank server list.

** edited to avoid looking too stupid **

not getting a server list at all, is my next dumb problem

Besides a couple typos, the use eq/use eqdr2 and renaming the eqdr2 folder were the only problems I found.
