I have the same problem. I am logging in with the username and password of eqemu. I get to the loging screen but when I try to Play I get a 1017. I tried to give admin to that account like the help says to.
C:\EQEmu>world flag eqemu 200
Using database 'eq' at localhost
EQEMu 0.3.12 - Wiederbelebung
Account being GM Flagged:eqemu, Level: 200
Account: eqemu does not exist, therefore it cannot be flagged
database.SetGMFlag failed.
In mysql:
Sure enough when I run a "select * from account;" the tables are empty. I can do a "describe account;" and see all the fields for the table but I am unsure as to what the values should be. I thought the eqemu user would be listed somewhere in the db. Maybe I just assume too much.
Any help would be appreciated
