New to EQEmu

[Raize]

Hello,

I was told by a neighbor to check this really cool emulator out on the net. I came here, downloaded the files, found out I need to download EQW and MySQL, so I got those and continued.

I get everything setup and I go to register a login account and eqemu.net/login is not responding. I give it a couple of tries and then give up.

Now I have an account set up, and my server is working great. At least, as far as I can tell. I currently have the original EQ cd and have *NO* option but to wait.

In the meantime, I'm running a fucking server that other people can use. But it doesn't matter, cause *I* can't use it. And now I read on the mainpage that not only will I not be able to use it for a few days, but I can't even help out future newcomers that may have the same problems as I do?

No offense, but my first experience with this mod so far is rather unsettling. I now have to wait (and, I'm noticing I'm even forbidden from asking how long I have to wait) before I can use a server that others are probably using just fine.

I don't know if it is an attitude or perspective thing or not, but whoever is running the show is doing a poor job of making us newcomers feel welcome. The policy against trading the files that us newcomers need to play the game is harsh. If you don't want them asking you, fine. But I know I won't have the same attitude if I ever get the game to work for myself.
