Hello,

I have made all the modification that must be done to play with eqemu servers
I have checked all extension and i have patched my eqlive.
When I run eqemulator i have only 6 extension and when i list them, ldon is not present.

Is it normal ? Perhaps i forgot something ?

It doesnt matter if you have it or not on the list or not, it doesnt do a check. It just checks for the files on your hard drive.

Ok thanks so it was just to know...

So its strange. Why this does not appears and the other do ?
Because I have not the commercial version of LOY and GOD. (They appear in the list)

So, I suppose the game is fully functional without this detail :P

Just to know : it is appears on YOUR list ?

The same 6 expansions appear on everyone's list. The login server doesn't care what expansions you own and have the serial numbers for, you send that info to Sony, not us. When ever someone logs in to our login server or Sony's the sever sends the list of expansions you can use. For us its those 6 expansions for everyone, I have no idea how those 6 expansions got picked and others weren't, maybe its just some one didn't know how to specify other expansions and those are the ones that happen to come up. But those expansions also have nothing to do with what expansions you can use in the game. Each server when you log into it sends your client a list of expansions you are allowed to use on that server, most of the servers allow all expansions, some servers restrict you to only a few expansions.

If the person running the server has ALL expansions enabled, then they will all be available.. So the server assumes you have all of them. This is also why when you try and zone to a zone that you dont have you get a crashed game error, because the server thinks you have them....

If you don't have a purchased copy of LDoN then you'll need to download the files before you can play in those zones. Just start EQLive, go to the Advanced tab and check The Lost Dungeons option. When you go back out to the main window, you'll repatch and download all the LDoN files. Note: this will NOT allow you to play LDoN on EQLive servers.
