Server binaries, and DB files are two different animals. But one needs the other to fully function. You can get the latest binaries from a link on the homepage.
http://www.eqemulator.net . It is 0.5.3, but it is a patch or two behind EQLive, so unless your client (read the game) is patched to before the patch on 2-10-04, then you wont be able to play on that version of the server... There is a newer server listed as 0.5.5 DR1, however, they are in source (no binaries) because it is NOT a release, and there is NO support for them whatsoever. So unless you know how to compile them, and can set it up by yourself, I would not recommend attempting the 0.5.5 DR1's for now..... Otherwise you will have to stick to playing on someone else's server till they are released....
