Okay, I ran into the same problem. So, I uninstalled and started over from the beginning without patching. But now another problem manifests itself.
After reinstalling I was able to get to the server selection screen and create my character. What puzzles me though is that the game looks like it will load but then returns to the server selection screen and gives me a message stating that I am missing expansion packs. It also asks me if I would like to modify my patcher to get these updates. Now, knowing that I can't patch to the live servers and expect to play on EQEmu, I click "No". Which starts the whole process over again.
I can't seem to actually get ON a server. So, I guess my question, becomes: Am I in a Catch-22? I can't play if I patch, but I have to patch to play...?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
