Hey I followed the guide to start playing and such as was just a little confused. When I tried to log in, I waited a long time at the "logging into the server. Please wait..." screen. Nothing seems to happen. Is there something I'm doing wrong?

I'm assuming that since I installed the CD's yesterday from scratch and DL'd all the updates, that I (and the guy that posted before) have the latest EQ patch that breaks EQEmu.

Is this a correct assesment? I've not played EQ in a long time (when did WoW come out? <chuckle>) and would like to try an EQEmu server whenever it gets patched for us n00bs that don't know what we're doing.. LOL

i think the 6.2 servers are live compliant.. though alot of things dont work as of yet..(damn sony and their changing crap)

Is anyone else having this problem?

BTW, the "patchme" param doesn't seem to work anymore. with or without it it patches overtop anyway.

I made a little script to copy eqhosts.txt and run it after it does the file check but BEFORE I hit play.

Still stuck at "Logging in" though.

Thoughts/idea/insults?

Make sure there is a space between the last " and patchme argument.
Krushers is live compatible..I just logged in to Sonys servers. Then did the normal stuff.(eghost/patchme) Then logged into Krushers.
So it works!
Did I forget to mention that Krushers is live compatible??

Wow..well...I must suck.
I created a shortcut so it points like so

"c:\Program Files\Sony\EverQuest Trilogy\everquest.exe" patchme

in the Target box. Is that not correct? It still launches the patcher and patches o'er top my eqhosts.txt that I edited.

That aside, after the patching is done, I change the eqhosts.txt to the eqemulator.net:5998 and save it, then click Play

I'm staring at "Loading.." still.. I know I'm doing something wrong, just not sure what.

Note: I patched as of last night as I totally reinstalled as of last night. Original through Kunark in one "Trilogy" box (hence the trilogy path) and then Luclin on top then sat for a day while it patched over dialup.

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

Dr. Zvago..
I got logged in! Made the change to the port and it let me in, sweet.

eqgame.exe bombs every time though when I get the "Upgrade to our 75th expansion, Dragons of Norrath?" message, so I can't get to the server login screen.

Anyway around that? Guessing it's communicating (or trying) with the EQ server.

Again, my thanks!

(and yeah, I'll make a monk the moment I get in!)

Ooh I just seen a Monk running out from the Dojo as I was logging..I need to take a break but im lvl 4 now..Mend seems to work! Dual weild is going up even though I dont have weapons. Make sure to put a point in that I think I did. I killed Fippy just barely at lvl 3. There are a few nasty mice in there so I just go after the gnolls and skellys now..I will "freeze" on ya if ya try to buy something. But you can sell. Looks like the stuff is in merchant inventory but its not listing properly. But 90% of this works..Just a few basic things to make it proper.

Make sure the number in eq host is 5998 not 5994.

There was my problem... thank you!

Oh, and is Krushers the only server that is semi working? I tried to log in to the other few that were there but the screen kinda shrinks, goes black where the eq window should be and doesn't do anything.
