the line that says Wait for World to Finish should actually have a echo in front of it. If the guide is missing that I will fix it, but it should read

Code:
echo Wait for World to Finish Loading.... Press Enter when its Done!!
Or whatever you want it to say, the echo tells dos that its a text line to display, not a command to run.

The 1251 is where of course, world cant connect to the database. My suggestion is to try one of these two steps.

1. Run this....

Code:
Set Password For 'eq'@'localhost' = OLD_PASSWORD('newpwd')
and substitute of course newpwd for your eq mysql user passowrd. Any time you make a account for mysql, and using a program that is not built for Mysql 5, but instead 4, liek the emu, you have to use this command to set the password format to the old version of Mysql.


2. try using the root username and the passowrd you assigned it when you ran the Mysql Server Instance Configuration Wizard. Also, make sure that when you did this (ran the wizard), you still disable strict mode, and add Best Support for Multilingualism or UTF8 for short.

After that run that set password command from my other post. Here is the reason

EqEmu is built for Mysql 4.0 and Mysql 5 uses new password formats. Running that command makes your password compliant for older programs (EqEmu)

Dont think that Mysql 4.1 works, but I could be wrong, it was a off release that not too many people messed with. When 5 come out, there were several reasons to make the switch so people took the time to learn what needed to be done to make it work with the Emulator.

Anyhow, try these two things and see how they work out.
