Well, I'm in another pickle. I've got my server up and running just fine. I can log on, do all the GM stuff I want, etc. I also have the EQOffline bots set up and working (took me a while to figure out the tables and what not).
So I made a character, made a quick companion, and started moving around. The first thing I noticed was that my latency was pretty big considering I'm right here at home (same computer). My companion was pretty laggy.
I ran around, looking at the monsters when I realized "Hey, these things aren't attacking me... and they aren't moving... and when I attack them they just stand there... hmm." I adjusted the XP rate earlier to make it a bit faster (this worked, as well as all the loot adjustments I made) and leveled up.
And here I am. I searched the wiki for awhile and had no idea what to search for. I also used the search function pretty extensively (about 10 minutes) and couldn't find anything on why my local latency is so huge as well as why no NPC's attack me. Note I can hail NPC's and some respond. I can also buy and sell from merchants just fine.
I'll be so peachy happy once I get this all worked out.
