Simple question

You know, several existing servers offer the experience you are looking for and with the dramatically lower population and increased GM oversight Griefers and PvPers do not last long in our worlds. It's pretty easy to play in a world built for 2,000 that only has 30-100 people in it and never run into the other people. When you do, you can be sure they don't want to do something that will get them /banned, and there's a greater sense of community so they are usually quite nice.

One note is that I'd make sure to pick an established server that will be around a while.

If you want an original EQ experience, join PEQ or Legacy of the Rathe. If you want to try something with GM Powers where you can be 70 in a day, try Krushers. If you want to loot your epic 60 seconds after you log in, try KMRA. If you want accelerated XP and Loot, try Jest3.

Those are the only ones I've played on that have always been around. I'm sure there are other stable servers out there as well, but before I started playing on those 5 I tried playing on 3-4 others that went *poof*, so I'd rather play on one of the ones I listed here

Good luck whatever you decide to do

Thank you so much for all of the help. I think I might just have everything set up right. i tried to follow everything in the guide.

The only problem that I am running into right now is this:

I run boot5zones, world, then attempt to launch eq (patchme etc) and no matter what i try to login with, it stays at the login screen saying "Establishing connection with login server" but nothing ever happens. I am attempting to run my own server, etc.

here's some of my setup files:

eqemu_config:

<?xml version="1.0">
<server>
<world>
<shortname>For Dani</shortname>
<longname>Rhayneal</longname>






<loginserver>
<host>eqlogin1.eqemu.net</host>
<port>5999</port>
<account></account>
<password></password>
</loginserver>


<key>some long random string</key>


<http port="9080" enabled="true" mimefile="mime.types" />
</world>


<database>
<host>localhost</host>
<port>3306</port>
<username>root</username>
<password>999999</password>
<db>peq</db>
</database>
</server>

and

eqhost says

[Registration Servers]
{
"localhost:3306"
}
[Login Servers]
{
"localhost:3306"
}

Thanks for any and all help!!!!

Oh--BTW--The "Establishing connection with login server" message happens even if I try to connect to a proven eqemu server using their setup. Am I SOL?

This is set to connect to eqemulator server

Quote:

<loginserver>
<host>eqlogin1.eqemu.net</host>
<port>5999</port>
<account></account>
<password></password>
</loginserver>

While your host here

Quote:

eqhost says

[Registration Servers]
{
"localhost:3306"
}
[Login Servers]
{
"localhost:3306"
}

Is trying to connect to your computer.

Try this in your eqhost.txt

Quote:

[Registration Servers]
{
"127.0.0.1:5998"
}
[Login Servers]
{
"127.0.0.1:5998"
}

And this in your set up

Quote:

<loginserver>
<host>127.0.0.1</host>
<port>5998</port>
<account></account>
<password></password>
</loginserver>

Hi! Thanks for the reply!!! =)

Tried your solutions but same result =(

Any other suggestions?

ouchyfish · #6 11-19-2007, 02:21 PM

hey!! i think that I'm making progress!!!

Still sits there saying attempting connection to the login server though =(

One thing I noticed is that your rule set is not getting loaded. For some reason the default setting for the rule_sets table has ruleset_id set to 2 when it should be set to 0 to match the ruleset_id in the rule_values table. I pm'd Cavedude on this but he didn't reply.

This doesn't solve your problem though. It seems you still have something wrong with the settings in the eqemu_config.xml or the loginserver.ini file.
