hmm seems like all of this happened while i was sleeping
ok here goes :
1 - u need a DB addon, in the world building forum there is a sticky about the latest builds, etc, start there =)
2- lag.. hmm.... in ur everquest directory, change ur datarate.txt to read 15.0 or something around there, anything under 10.0 will b laggy =)
good luck
