Hi everyone! I know some of you are having trouble, so I thought I would give you all some advice (that I learned from experimenting) for running the new login server locally.

First of all, I had an error that stated "login server wrong version" or something to that effect. I fixed this by patching with Verant's server.

Next, I had the "ghosted" error described in earlier messages. I fixed this by making sure that in the login_worldservers table, there is only one entry with id 1, and that the account and password fields match those that I entered in my loginserver.ini file. This fixed the problem.

Next I had an invalid "username/password" error. I fixed it by creating the entry in the login_authchange table only after the login server was running. It appears that when the login server starts, it clears this table, and you won't be able to log in the first time. After logging in the first time, successive logins work fine.

I hope this helps those that have had similar problems. By the way, thank you so much to the EQEMU dev team. You guys are the best!
