Well after trying to NOT use the login server, I finally gave in and decided to find out how to actually make it work.

1. make sure you have a eqhost.txt as decribed in the install guide
2. fix up your loginserver.ini with

worlname with whatever you want in there, but change it to something

for worldaddress use what ever you were using for you server IP
(mine is 192.168.1.3 -- a private IP; probably most people will have 127.0.0.1).

leave the rest alone

2. get an account from frags (see the install guide ); but DO NOT use any existing account names that you have on your local server.

4. execute on your server side world.exe and boot5zones.bat
(either don't touch the BAT or fix up IPs to match what you did before)

5. run either eqw 2.2 or eqgame patchme from you client directory

6. login with your frags name/password

7. select your server from the server list

8. create a char, enter, camp

9. shutdown the zones and world servers on your system

10. go to you mysql software and do this ( the stuff with // are comments):

mysql //program mysql in mysql/bin
use eq020 //where eq020 is the name of your eqemu database
update account set status=100 where name='madborg'
//note: madborg is my frag user name; so use your frag user name; password will be blank right now

exit mysql.

Now do 4-7 again. This time when you enter you will see your char is a GM.
