Well, it looks like EQLive may no longer be an option at all for the emulator. Unless I am doing something wrong, I can't even get EQLive to connect to the eqemulator.net login server. I tried messing around with my host file (windows host file), but that didn't make any difference. I also tried adjusting my ini files in the EQ directory, but that didn't help either. I put in my username and password and hit connect, and it just hangs there indefinitely saying "Logging into the server. Please wait..." It never actually connects to the eqemu login server, and it never seems to time out either, it just stops doing anything else.

My guess is that they have some new opcode or structure or maybe encryption when logging into the LS, and it doesn't match what our LS uses. And, since we don't have access to the LS, it means we are basically out of luck other than developing a new login server (which has been discussed a little).

It isn't the worst thing in the world that the emu won't work with live anymore, but it does probably slow my progress down. Really, as long as I can get in game with SoF, that should be most of what I need to start working out the rest of the details. I mostly just need to get past the point I have been stuck at. The fact that EQEmu may not be able to work with EQLive is another reason why SoF is probably our best bet for a final version upgrade.
