i've been around for a long time. i even bought EQ within a couple months of its release. i have no idea how to create a merc. never had to learn, so being incredulous about it is a bit much. whether 1% don't know or 80% is irrelevant. he simply was asking for a very small amount of information.
in general, should people make use of the search feature or google before asking mundane questions? sure, i have no problem agreeing with that. however, we are all lazy on occasion.
i googled "mercs eqemu create" and all i got was info for server-side setup on the first two pages. it's folly to assume that how something works on real servers is how it will work on emu servers. that isn't a critical statement, but merely an understandable and unavoidable reality. (for the record, i think eq emulation works very well.)
you did eventually tell him to right click, but in a very condescending way, and neglected to mention that it is just like a merchant, if like live. i still have never made one.
i hesitate to ask about the spells or dbstr files that are required. i don't want to be told i should know better, tsk, tsk, i'm a dummy!
