Update on the New Login Server - Please Read!

This is to say that I believe for Public and Private Servers, they will both be able to use this new solution to serve their needs and not have to rely on a Public Login Server for it to work. I haven't heard the full details on it, but I am sure the solution would also cover LAN play for people who are not connected to the internet. So, you will not even need an option at compile time

Ouch... I don't like were this is headed.. This would hurt a lot of servers. I Hope this is incorrect..

Minilogin /sniffle you will be missed.

Well since this is open source and other login server option are out there, A fork of the project could work at this point?

Sounds like killing off half the community to me.
Another option has to be worked out.

We released the full loginserver, with no restrictions have at it guys. Host your own worlds and get away from PEQEMu.

I believe Trevius misunderstood me a bit. Minilogin will not be going anywhere. If all goes according to plan when all is done we will all have MORE options then we do now in regards to logging in. If anybody wants to write their own alternate login server, there won't be anything stopping them.

What KLS came up with, and both Wild and KLS are working on all the time truly will put every single one of us in a better place in regards to EQEmu, I promise you that. It's just going to take time, as things need to be written from scratch.

Personally, I am sick of this login server bullshit. I just want to go back to database work and be done with this already.

Thanks CD. I figured something was a miss. I hope them the best of luck and take as much time as ness just to make it right.

I haven't played on anyones server since the login headaches started.

Image is still working on it but once finalized, you'll have a stable life-time copy of a minilogin to use there without any changes kids.

I apologize for the confusion! I read too much into the update I got from Cavedude and obviously misunderstood that part. I was trying to elaborate on the update I got as much as possible to make sure people got as much of an update as was possible.

Assume: Making an "ass" out of "u" and "me", but mostly just me in this case! Again, I am sorry and want to thank Cavedude for his quick clarification on the matter.

I updated the original post in this thread with an edit to clarify the correction Cavedude gave.

Could someone explain to me why people are getting upset in laymens (like, use an analogy about keys or cars or something ) terms please? I am very confused; I see Trevius submitting what looks like a fine solution, and some people calling armageddon.
