I aplogize for my inexperience at this, but i had no idea you could connect to the server without using the patcher, i have two folders, one i use for emu and one for real eq. i assumed you had to run the patcher every time you connected. you may want to make a post available that is EASY to find, (like on your front page) i can tell by looking at all the posts about the patcher no being up that many people are like myself and probably run the patcher every time they would connect. sry, and also if there is anything i can do to help you all out feel free to drop me an email at
cannon-emu@cfl.rr.com. good luck and best wishes.
