Ok I reuploaded the entire pack again, but this time using ansi sql, so it will definitely work as I just tried it.

Here's how to source the database
(0) Extract the RAR to a folder - say on desktop called eqemu
(1) Find your mysql user and password (mine was eq/eq) when you set up mysql
(2) in your new folder called eqemu, edit the LOAD.BAT, and enter your mysql credentials (mine is eq/eq)
-u is the user name, and -p is the password. Save the file
(3) Execute load.bat. This opens a DOS like mysql box and sources the database. It takes a while (~10mins). Wait till the box disappears.
(4) Your new database is now called "peq_1496" and you can now enter your mysql credentials at the bottom of the file:eqemu_config.xml file
i.e replace eq/eq with your info - see the example below. Save the file

        <database>
                <host>localhost</host>
                <port>3306</port>
                <username>eq</username>
                <password>eq</password>
                <db>peq_1496</db>
        </database>

(5) run START.BAT to begin loading the minilogin server. Hopefully it works and loads correctly.

This is for loading the server. For starting the game, I presume you know the next steps. When you start the client, everquest asks for a user name. I used the same login eq/eq just to make it simple. There it will load in my characters..

Let me know if you have problems sourcing now
