Now NPCs wont talk

Make sure that when you extract the .tar.gz file that you are actually extracting everything.
Assuming you have 7 zip,
Right click on .gz choose 7zip extract here.
Now you have a .tar file.
Right click on .tar and choose 7zip extract here
This will extract the peqbetaxxxxxxxxx and drop_system SQL files.

Open a command prompt.
cd \eq\sql
mysql -uroot -ppassword peq
source drop_system.sql
source peqbetaxxxxxxxxx.sql
exit
exit

Launch your start.bat

I've done that Sorvani, many times. I've even manually dropped all merc tables, sourced in the daily build and the specialabilites.sql so the NPCs show up, and sourcing nothing else at all, and then launch. Still, none of the merc liasons will pop the merc hire window at all. If I set their class_id back to "71" like it was in the previous SVN DB, then the merc hire window pops but then I get the merc failed to spawn message. Do mercs work for you?

yeah I just enabled the mercenary and set class to 71. I too get the message "mercenary failed to spawn". I have no idea why.
