Ok, I got EQEmu because I was told it was a good program. Tried it, and got Error 1001: Could not connect to server please try again blah blah blah or something like that. Then I went here for help and found that there are like 20 solutions for my problem, and many seem outdated. Can't actually sit for hours on end trying each one. Also read the Readme file. Now, do I really have to do all that laborous work (which appears to be amazingly time consuming) everytime I wish to use it? And is there not something to help those that don't really care much about the 'internal' stuff?

Needless to say, I am a noob. When you say patch EQLive I just go on ahead and double click the icon on my desktop, which appears to be everquest.exe as eqgame.exe says I need to run the first patcher before it can be used.

Is there not, anywhere, someone who can just produce some kind of simple guide to connecting to the program in lamens terms fpr morons like myself?

Problem: Run everquest.exe patcher (only thing I can). Once that is patched I run the EQEmu 'lil patcher thing. EverQuest loads up. Click 'Connect'. Type in my username and password for EQEmu and get Error 1001.

Solutions?

Run eqemupatcher.exe (download it from this site) and tell the program where your eq directory is located during install. The patcher by default will place an icon on your desk top to launch the patch process.

After patching make sure you have the eqhost.txt file from here (the one that connects to the EQemu servers) inside your eq directory and launch the game by creating a shortcut to eqgame.exe (in your eq directory) to your desk top. Then right click on the desk top shortcut and select properties. You will then see a window that says Target and the path to your eq directory with eqgame.exe in the window.

Now add patchme after eqgame.exe
like this---> eqgame.exe patchme <--- Save your changes and if all goes well you should be able to connect.

Good luck

I don't seem to be able to type anything in. The box isn't there, just the line which cannot be edited.

Edited:
Ignore that, somehow, I managed to get in running everquest.exe. Thing is, I played for a while, and got booted to desktop. When I get in and select my character and click play I get booted to desktop also.

You have to use eqgame.exe patchme (Only) Running everquest.exe won't work! Make sure you have patchme after the eqgame.exe
