EQ just redownloads the old version of it again , ive tried changing it AFTER i run the patch, but..uhh, that dont work, and ive tried doing everything else in this thread like changing the target in the EQ shortcut.... im outa ideas :(, EQW doesnt work for me either ... any help would be appriceated

Your not doing it right. If you dont want to use EQW (yes it does work if you use it right), you need to run eqGAME.exe, not everquest.exe. Everquest.exe is the patcher and will re-download eqhost.txt again if you run it. there is another way though, you can patch (dont hit Play or close it), then change eqhost.txt, then hit play.
