Precisely why I haven't made it publicly available. My work schedule is far too hectic to be supporting a no-brainer emu repack.
As to your other comment, I agree, but"If you can't set it up, you shouldn't be running it" is a little harsh. This doesn't need to be rocket science, and if someone only plans to run a server localhost, it really should be as simple as possible.
You must have noticed the flood of the "single brain celled MMO player" that WoW-like games has unleashed on the world. More and more players do not care to think for themselves and will either require chronic hand holding, or someone to just do it for them (remember the clown here a while back who offered to take your money to set you up an EQEmu server? yeah.)

The whole point of these "repacks" is that they run, 100%, out of the box. Minimal config, and that's usually just to the client to set the Host or shortcut. So theoretically, there will be no "I cannot login" issues (i know that was just one example) if no one knew about the XML and screwed with it. I agree that learning the inner workings of the Emulator are important, but seriously -
only important to those of us who care. Many do not. They just want to download it, run it, log in, play, fine'. And Cavedude's server pack does that just fine.
My "repack" was created for 2 purposes. 1) I blow away my machines routinely because of my RL job, so I hate having to reset everything up, and 2) I liked the WoW Repack concept to have site, news, account management, and forums be all inclusive. Granted, no localhost user will ever need all that, but - it's what I do. I love webdev.
Maybe I shouldn't have mentioned it.
