oh, ya if you want to be able to play you have to setup mysql.
first you need to get it,
http://www.mysql.com/ I got version 3.23 or something if there is anything newer it should be fine too.
Then Install it (remeber what user/pass you set) and reboot you computer.
open up your mysql/bin dir and copy the db.sql in to it
then start up mysql.exe
at that promt type the following (hit enter between

)
(pray that it works...)
Code:
INSERT INTO account SET name='eqemu', password='eqemu', status=200;
and then exit it.
next open your db.ini and change the user and password to what you set it too.
[Database]
host=localhost
user=YourMysqlUsername
password=YourMysqlPassword
database=eq
that should be it (I think).
