I disagree. First off, the "flaming" you see here is like an afternoon at church compared to other places I visit. Consider this a nice community. Secondly, people are inherently lazy and do no searching, and post immediately when they have a question, THEN go searching in hopes that some good samaritan will answer and save them the trouble.

You want advice? This forum is over-loaded. Yes, it takes some time to get used to finding stuff... and the acronyms people use render the search function useless (grin). But I think mostly, people are fair and helpful when questers can articulate their needs coherently.

(btw, this was not a flame)

I would agree on a part to that.. there ARE helpful people but the flaming is ignorant.. if the complaint is that people are wasting server space by asking questions that are already answered elsewhere in the forum, then it is equally ignorant to post a flame and waste more space when you can just ignore the post entirely.

if the flaming is just to be cynical then those responsible for flaming well deserve those of us who complain about it.

really there is no reasonable answer, there might be an underlying reason, but as they say two wrongs dont make a right.

As long as well all agree that you posting everywhere about flaming being wrong, and that you are in fact right, winds up canceling each other out.

Trying to get in touch with you Abaddon to ask you questions about your server pack.

This database is working well with my eqemu ( EQEmu-0.7.0-845 Minilogin with MySQL 5.0.24 ). The only prob i got is the starting zone witch is bugged atm.
All char are starting in Qeynos ( not a really prob but if you wanna start a necro lizard ( wink ! ) ....
So if you have the SQL line to update the good starting places it will be cool.
This apophis look stable ( i have tried a magician in qeynos ). ).
Good job on it btw.

Ok... I have had MULTIPLE upon MULTIPLE reports from the less than knowledgable that people just cannot figure out how to correctly setup MySQL to work with the server, or they can't source the files right, or this or that pertaining to MySQL.

so to solve a lot of headaches and/or explanations I have decided to make it foolproof and easy for all the windows users out there.

IF you have already installed MySQL on your system just follow the instructions in the COMMENT file of the RAR in the included link.

IF you have not installed mysql yet:

1.) unarchive the file in the included link to an easy directory (my suggestion is C: but it isnt absolutely necessary)

2.) go to a DOS/COMMAND prompt and navigate to the BIN directory (i.e. C:\MySQL\BIN)

3.) enter the command: mysqld -install

4.) THAT should cover everything.... this post should once and for all KILL any questions regarding MySQL.

come to think of it... if you download the last release of my apophis edition, and download this foolproof release of MySQL, it is impossible for you to not have a functional server **UNLESS** you screwup on PERL... hmm I need to make something foolproof for that now I guess huh?

[wraithlord98]

Don't say foolproof - cause you just KNOW I'll manage to throw a monkey wrench into it somehow. lol

[abaddon]

hmm I noticed that the package I just put up yesterday (the mysql one) has already been downloaded 5 times... so, of you who have taken it, everything ok? any questions? (really shouldnt be, but I'll ask anyway)
