I thought I would post this here rather than start up a whole new thread, as I agree that can be annoying.
I'm a noob with a tech question here, but it's a simple one and I'll explain the specifics so you don't throw too many stones at me. For the Winter's Roar Server I went ahead and followed their website's instructions to a Tee and came here first and followed the instructions given on the FAQ guide of How to Play on EQEmu.
Everything went fine at first. I registered my name with my E-mail, got the confirmation E-mail, was able to sign in to this Web Site, and then I went to my Profile and created an actual Account, using my assigned passkey code listed on my profile.
I then patched a fresh install of EQ Evolution and patched it to current.
I then made the modifications as listed to my EQHost text file and the rest as the FAQ listed.
From there I went ahead and followed Winter's Roar website's instructions. I downloaded their patcher, character creation file folder, etc. Inserted what was needed and patched using their patcher. I finally hit the Run key and this put me into the game, doing the usual config junk of my screen size, if I had sound on or off, what models I'd be using to represent the races in play (old or Luclin), etc.
I figured I was all set to go so it asked for my Account name and Password. I tossed it in and got an Error Message of
" EQEmu Error - Bad username/password" and could go no further.
Is this a fault with my program accessing EQEmu? Is it a fault that I have with my Account and my listed Account Name and Password? Or is this a fault with my having patched to current (1/12/05) and like everyone else, I must wait until the Devs of this site are able to update the code needed?
Thank you for being patient with me and I hope my problem and what answers you have may be of use to others new to this system.
