Default Can't get on anything but 5.7 DR4

I'm sure I'm missing something big here, but I can't get on anything but the 5.7 DR4 servers, and I'm not liking them because I wanted to get on one of the more populated servers.

Every time I try to get on another server, i'm booted back to the login screen.

Any ideas why? or what I should do?

The reason you can only get onto DR4 servers is because you are using the 5-28 patch. And no you can't "unpatch"

The only way you can play on other servers if you have files from an earlier patch date. For example, if you have the last patch prior to the May 18th patch you can play on 5.7-DR3 servers. The only way you could get these is to check with your friends who might have them. Don't ask the server ops or folks on the forums. If you do, you risk being banned since those files are considered warez.

With each patch it seems that Sony breaks other things making the eqemu team have to work to figure out how to get them working again. This is why some server ops choose to stay with older versions. The only problem then becomes new players coming to those servers who have patched since the working version are kinda left searching for a way to play on them.

Not sure if that helps of confuses things more. :P
