Do not bother asking for new copies of the emulator before release or their release dates, they will not be given for any reason.

Ok, now I see the source of the confusion. I think this statement was intended to be read as :

Do not bother asking for new copies of the emulator or the release dates, neither will be given out for any reason.

Questions of the "hows it coming" nature should be expected. As a professional programmer I hear stuff like this every day.
You have to explain, no matter how taxing it is on your patience, that coding is very unpredictable, especially in a project such as this one where they're at the mercy of Verant's whim to make a change at any time.
Still, telling someone "its done when its done" is in my opinion both rude and unprofessional.
I can see how 3drealms may have this attitude about DNF, since theyre intentionally keeping the details secret, but I don't see a reason for it on an open source project such as this.

is there a place we can apply for a cdkey now or is it being worked on?

I think they will tell us specifically where to go and hjow to set it up once the new version is released and the liginserver is set up...

Oh, and EQfan2002.... all you need to do is download the program EQW (there's a link on this site) and then edit your EQHost.txt file to point to the loginserver (don't remember adress off the top of my head but I know its on the site somewhere). You don't need to wait for the new release if you don't want to.

Just in case you weren't aware of that.

As I understand it, you will be able to apply for a CD key at http://eqemu.org/login/ . As I beleive that is what we're changing to be the key creation system. Then you'll take that key and startup EQ and go to "New Account" in the "Accounts" area. So then you pretty much follow the steps you have there, and we're gonna have you give us a "CDKey" instead of your CC number, but I think that we know how to change what everything is so it might say this is where you put your key =).

Anyways, you will see more as it gets closer to release.

i already have a user name and password for the emu, i went to the link above, and can neither create a new one nor use my old one to get a cdkey. how will that work?
