Default Why do we have to patch ?
I just read everywhere that patching make login impossible until the devs solve the problem, but why do we have to patch. Can we just not patch ?

Because the EMU uses a patcheed version of EQ, just happens to be the patch before 12/15

Default Re:"Why do we have to patch"
I'm curious, is it possible to undo a recent patch, say, by using System Restore on a WinXP machine? I just happened to play on 12/17, then recently came back to the forums and say I had just missed my chance to get my EQEMU up. Doh!

Anyway, is it possible to undo that recent patch in any way?

Thanks!

Because SOE changed a lot of stuff and the Devs do this in there free time out of the kindness of there hearts for no pay and they have school / jobs / family.

Want it done faster? hope onto SF and dig into the code and help fix it.

Let's see, could it be that they are NOT being paid, and that maybe they have a life...

Um, I know this is gonna sound newbish, but how do I get into system restore and undo a patch? Or if the other "illegal" ways are easier, I wouldn't mind hearing them too. Thanks.

System restore dose work sometimes, and all the other ways to do it are illegal
